Shut-off valves

Listen, I-I, don’t try to back out!!

This board is mostly about residential inspections! You mentioned “homeowners” and I said “single family dwellings” in post #7…no retort from you! Learn how to read, go buy your credentials somewhere or maybe earn them by doing the Carson/Dunlop course. You’re quite something…saying that their course is beneath you!!

Here’s a quote from a former member of the ESOP committee; is this you??
“In case you are not aware, NACHI is notorious among vendors for how little its members are willing to actually pay for products and education. Outside of NACHI, however, there are inspectors who are paying for materials and training and are rewarding the good vendors with their business.”

Brian

Its very evident that Inspector Inspector is not John Lee as he claims.

It is not mostly about residential inspections Brian.

Brian,

Please stop passing yourself off as an Building Code Expert.

[quote=“Inspector_Inspector, post:23, topic:33321”]

A real newbie playing with the big boys!! You haven’t been here long enough to read the threads…not very much commercial stuff in these threads!!!

Raymond,

Why do feel the need to be validated? Why do you answer for Brian? Why do you have the need to be correct…allways? It appears that you and Brian work in tandem here on this message board to discredit targeted individuals.
If I may make a suggestion, stick to what you know best…“The Bob”

BTW Do you allow your friends to come in your mouth?

Now, have we changed the topic??? How sad!!!

I’m not calling myself a building code expert but I know who to call when I need the assistance such as preparing for expert witness in court. BTW, the top building code official (an architect) for my province hired me to do the pre-purchase inspection of his present home!!

Inspector Inspector stated:

Inspector Inspector like I said you are not who you say u are. It didn’t take long for you to trip up and reveal yourself. Try again!

Brian,

Do you allways make assumptions? I have been a member of the message board for quite a while, I just haven’t posted. I admit I’m new to inspections; however I’m not new to the Building Industry.

BTW An entire thread on Commercial Inspections is listed here along with SOP for Commercial Inspections, and I’m to believe someone like you?
I don’t think so. Go play with Raymond. I’m here to talk to real inspectors, inspectors that care about this relatively new Industry, not to listen to two fags like you and Raymond.

Rarely except for today and when Mario goes off the deep end!!

Boy!!! What a pair you and supermarion are going to be!! Keep talking to him/her.

Did he hire you to take some pressure off himself…Too bad…he earned it!!

Really, are you trying to impress me? I’m a 48 year old man, I don’t impress easily.
Tell it to a young man, he might get impressed, but please don’t tell me about what you are or are not inspecting. It actually tells me hell of lot about you though.
In fact most of your posts are all about how you did this and that in a past life, give it a rest Brian.

Go play with Raymond

Regards

John

You are hanging around with the wrong company, your immaturity and sexual innuendo says alot about your education and scruples.

I suggest you and Mario stay confined to the back of Marios van.

I rest my case, Raymond answers for Brian and Brian answers for Raymond.

Raymond, go play with Brian.

And you post on behalf of Mario Kyriacou! Hypocrite!

And there goes another perfectly good thread. Guys come on. I’ve tried to stay out of this. I’m new to inspections and as much as everyone is always on here bashing each other for their lack of education I come on here for just that… education. This was a very valid post that started off well. A healthy debate on code is great for someone trying to learn something. But it always turns into the rantings of like 3 people. Can you just grow up already? I will never take one side or another. It’s funny that all of you including Brian, Ray, Mario, Inspector inspector or some other odd ball name and many others have all given me assistance and knoweldge. If everyone on here knows as much as they claim couldn’t you just be more helpful? Seems like you all want one thing RESPECT. Well my friends that is something that is earned and I can tell you that your behaviour on here isn’t earning you any.

Sorry, I’m sure i’m gonig to get loads of reds, but I just couldn’t hold back any more… Guys please put an end to this. Would you have your children or for you older gentleman (i use that term loosely) grandchildren read this and behave in this sort of way? I would hope not.

By the way, on the topic… I think I would report it as a recommendation (cover your butt right?)

Thanks for bringing this up John!! so true.

Sean,

Don’t waste your time with the macneuish or the wand.

Claude,

They are not required for most fixtures (e.g. sinks) and I do not report on their absence in those areas.

They are required at entrance, water closet(s), water heater (s) and hose bib(s) and will report if missing in those areas.

I’ve noted many frost proof hose bibs without shut-off valves inside house (a valve without a valve) and that get mentioned in my report.

Marcel:

Does Quebec adopt outright the National Plumbing Code or adopt & adapt
the national for Quebec purposes? In the national, the frost-proof bib does not require an inside shut-off.

Section 6.1.4. 1) Every pipe that passes through an exterior wall to supply water to the exterior of the building shall be provided with
a) a frost-proof hydrant, or
b) a stop-and-waste c-o-c-k located inside the building and close to the wall.

ed: note the above hyphenated word which was deleted is code language!!

What if its a frost free hose bib?

<edit> Looks like Brian beat me to it
