Virtually every jurisdiction out here wants the discharge pipe to terminate outside, so I regularly find them about three inches from the ground. Found one the other day with seven 90? elbows.

Do you think I should simply quit reporting exterior terminations, all them thar elbows, and a termination point a few hundred feet from the water heater?
