TPR connected to hose

@kwood

Here is one from an inspection for you to look at and tell me what is wrong.:shock:

It reduces in diameter

[kwood (KEVIN WOOD, CMI)]

This had also 3-90 degree elbows and was discharged into a wash sink.:shock:
I should point out this is a TPRV or whatever you call it in the US.

Watts allows up to 4 90° elbows and 30 foot in length for the discharge line/pipe/tube

@kwood

The T&P (Test and Pressure) valve on water heater needs a 3/4 threaded pipe to extend within 6 inches of floor for safety. (PVC is not approved for hot water use). You must also have an air gap on the end of it to make sure it is not defective.

You will have to look close on the discharge pipe to make sure it is not approved for the discharge temperature before assuming that the PVC will not be OK.
Remember for all those that are new 150 PSI and 210 degrees F is needed stamped or written on the discharge pipe itself.

That is correct but I will not change the format on my HomeGauge nor will I change the picture of wrong wording on the InterNachi graphic. You have no Idea how many wrong statements I see on a daily basis and this does not have anything to do with Intellect. I talk to Professional’s on many levels and only stop in on the InterNachi MB to get a good laugh.

There is now cpvc that can handle the pressure and temperature so you can’t assume the plastic pipe in the InterNachi illustration is wrong nor the wording.

Kevin,

Where do you come up with this stuff?

I find it amazing that you admit to willingly leave incorrect statements in your report and willingly use incorrect (as you state) illustrations. Please do everyone a favor and check your facts before you put them down in type.

Oh good thing you put that up you are only a month too late.
Opps! You are the one on this thread.

Water heater hookup...need advice.

I don’t know how this got off topic but the picture I am displaying is an electric Hot Water tank.

Who cares?

Quit while you are behind.

[smcclarie (Steven McClarie)]

The bottom end of the discharge pipe must have an air gap and must not be threaded.

Stop it with the facts, you’ll just confuse KEVIN.:shock:

Is it the large font that’s confusing you?

Test and pressure? TEST and pressure? TEST and pressure?

[abieber (Andrew Bieber)]

I thought the pipe had to be “Non threaded” from the TPR valve???.

Correct the discharge pipe cannot have a threaded connection at the end, this is to prevent someone from capping it.
