Is this material allowed for the use of a drainage trap. It looks to be OK. Normally see either PVC or stainless.
Hi Dave
I may be wrong but isn’t that the top part of washing machine discharge hose??
It sure is not acceptable in that location, I am guessing that they were having difficulty getting standard rigid piping to fit so threw that hose in there.

Look at this link:
Thanks
Is this acceptable with the IRC & UPC plumbing codes. Seems like a decent product.
Nice web link. I would say you got it.
Here is a question that was in a MR. FIX IT How to operate your home.
Q.How many fixtures can be served by a 1/2 inch copper line?
I would think this would depend on the IRC & UPC tables. Pressure & length of pipe would determine. Am I correct.
Hi to all,
Good one John, I have never seen that fitting thanks for the link. I also wonder whether it is code compliant

Gerry
Nice link John, thanks.
I saw one of these before, and had to look it up–then. Looks like it belongs on an automobile radiator or washer machine!!!
I believe it has an ICC Legacy report attached, so it appears to be legit!
See:
Home Depot sells them here but I think theirs is black.
