Verbal home inspection report sparks complaint

[Doug Edwards]

Kenneth,
Check Code Check Plmbing book pg 23. TPR drain ends "outside OR (indirect waste) (approved location)

Terminates < 6 inches from the (receptor) "ground"

About 90% of the wtr htrs here have the drain terminate outside with an elbow facing the ground. Most of the time it is copper but occasionally it is CPVC.
Hope that helps.

95% of the tpr lines drain to the out side here in AZ. You all are forgetting that we all live in different parts of the country.
