Would you fuss much about this PEX being routed just beneath the access cover? I’m tempted to…
If so, why? :roll:
The plumber did save himself one more elbow and crimp one less joint…:mrgreen:

Well it doesn’t obstruct but could have been better.
Looks as if the PEX is touching the access cover…over time this will wear the PEX (from water surge/vibration) causing a leak.
It’s not a pressurized line but from the TPR, I assume.
Is PEX allowed on a TPR ???
PEX is fine. CPVC is fine. PVC is not
TPR Valve piping, yes…
PEX is okay…
Thanks, I don’t see PEX very often, and have never seen it on a TPR.
Michael, you’re too quick…
Yeah, it might rub, yeah it touches, yeah it might eventually rub a hole in the top (which should never be a leak…)
I just think it’s poor workmanship… trying to save an elbow and two crimps…
Agreed:D

Is the Pex a 3/4" required size, or is smaller, as it appears to be. I probably would worry that the cover may fall off, be removed and left off permanantly, etc. allowing enough heat to escape, allowing for meltdown over time. Not likely, be I guess it could happen.
The TPR line has to be full size from valve to end.
