Reported Post by JILL SULLIVAN

JILL SULLIVAN has reported a post.

Reason:

I agree in Australia the hot tap is on the left, HOWEVER, laterally thinking…as a woman does, why not install a Mixer tap thermostatically controlled for temperature? I find these far more practical especially if you have children (re scalding).

This may sound silly, but when looking at a bathtub (I have included a drawing) at which side do we consider which is the left and which is the right (for purposes of the hot and cold water handles). Is it before we step in the tub and turn the water on, or is when we are in the tub looking at the handles. The reason I bring this up is that I have seen it both ways.

In my inspection yesterday the handles were marked wrong. Looking at the tub the right handle was marked cold, but was the hot water line, and the left handle was marked hot and was the cold water.

I have two different opinions on this, one from a fellow inspector and one from my wife. What are your opinions.

The developer only wants to switch the handles.

Jill,
You are “reporting this post”. What are you “reporting”?
When our Members report a post they’re asking for it to be deleted!

On what grounds do you want to delete it?

What section of our code of ethics or message board rules are being violated?

[jmckenna1 (John McKenna, CMI)]

As Frank says, there appears to be no fault. Keep the discussion in the original thread.

[jjonas (Jeffrey Jonas)]

Besides… the thread is 8 years old! It ain’t going nowhere!

Glad to see you back JJ!
