Wow! what education on drip legs and sediment traps.
Now I know that a drip leg will collect condensate or sediment in the gas line.
Never realized they did both. LOL
OK, back to electrical. :rofl:

You posted the information. It was informative. @mwilles made a comment it was no longer relative (paraphrased) and you continued with more information. Awesome, thank you!

Don’t worry so much about protecting us or being right, we’ll sort it out.

Brian I got to give him credit he stuck to his guns even though he was not 100% correct.

He didn’t know what code book his own state follows for gas and plumbing.

I don’t think he realizes that when you take information from three or four different code books it’s not relevant. You can’t bend four code books to fit your theory.

I will still give him a snow flake participation award🙂

Putting this to bed. One of these drawings is from InterNACHI. It shows the sediment trap as a drip leg. This is because a sediment trap can also collect moisture. Amazing! The only code requirement I can find in modern code books is to install the drip leg where it cannot freeze. Got that covered. The term drip leg, sediment trap and dirt leg have been interchangeable in the industry by professionals for decades.

It looks like he wants to be a teacher more than he wants to be a home inspector.

Chris,
I am more familiar with IRC, IBC, IECC, NMBC, as I am diving into those probably bi-weekly. I would say that I probably am much better at finding information in them, then say having them memorized. I recently took a deeper dive into the 2017 NEC for a client of mine, as we are having to bring the wiring up to code in her house, about $55,000 worth. The NEC is not as easy to read when compared to the other codes I mentioned, the structure of it is not like the rest.

Martin,
Who said I don’t know what codes my state has adopted? lol,your a straight up fool. If you even understood how codes throughout this country were organized, and were having a discussion with people from many different states, you would want to cite from the source (ICC Codes) from which most localities adopt from…especially if you already checked your local codes and found it to be identical to the ICC codes. You big dummy lol.

First person I’ve ever put on “ignore”. He’s really strange and sad…

Thomas, are you talking about Martin?

Checking definition would be helpful.

Larry,
What do you see when you read the definitions above? I’m curious

Now you are trolling, just stop.
In Internet slang, a troll is a person who starts flame wars or intentionally upsets people on the Internet .
