The kitchen as you do not want the smell of burnt bacon through out the home

Don’t argue with an idiot someone watching may not be able to tell the difference.

yea, that’s what I thought, and answered kitchen, but got it WRONG…


The test answer said “bedroom”, and referenced code 1602.3


Take a look, tell me what you think. I read the code, and it does not specifically mention any room, but does say:


" Closer than 10 feet from an appliance vent outlet, a vent opening from a plumbing drainage system or the dishcharge outlet of an exhaust fan, unless the outlet is 3 feet above the outside air inlet."


I am thinking kitchen


and “Where the presence of flammable vapors; or where located less than 10 feetabove the surface of any abutting public way or driveway; or where located at grae level by a sidewalk, street, alley or driveway.”


Since the presence of flammable vapors in mentioned, I am thinking kitchen


Heck, further down on the code - prohibited sources it says:


"A closet, bathroom, toilet room, kitchen,garage, mechanical room, furnace room or other dwelling unit.


I cut and pated the question straight from another website, so you see it as I did.

Darren,


What is the web site that you are getting these questions from? Many of the "correct" answers you site from there just don't jive.

housensible.com, and a link on the home page to the “inspectors corner”.


man, this is having a vacuumous effect (sux), I depend on a site with sample test questions, and the answers are wrong.


It's hard to get good help these days.

Thanks,
Darren
