Not to mention… does he plan on making the correction when/before he eventually sells his home, or hope the home inspector for the buyer misses it??? :shock:
Seems to me it should be repaired asap, so he can receive the benefit of a proper system for the duration of his ownership. :neutral:
Obviously I would note it in the report but it does work properly as is. I have no intention of fixing it. You guys are not obnoxious you are very helpful. The distribution piping that is. The discharge piping will get fixed when I change the water heater.
Actually the code is 3/4 inch plumbing but the house is 60 years old. It doesn’t have a step between the garage and the house, it has 1/2 inch piping, it did not have GFCI or three prong outlets(which i have added) and I am sure there is a myriad of other code issues. I doubt if the inspector did catch those things, which mine didn’t, that a buyer would walk away. I am sure it was code compliant at one point.
Yeah the distribution piping has to be at least 3/4 inch. I was referring to the gfci and there were already grounds. They were connected to the box. I’m not that green man.
