I hope that hose is certified by the washing machine industry and rated for optional use. icon_sad.gif

Material must be listed for use as a TPR discharge and must drain down hill. I don’t this would qualify for either.

The tag said it was rated for hot water heaters. Is ok to run in that far up and then down? Is there a code reference as to the direction the discharge vent can travel other then terminating in a downward fashion?

IRC2803.6.1 and UPC608.5 - Drain line may not run up hill.


The material may be allowed per IRC2803.6.2 and UPC608.5 for materials used in distribution.

The potential for kinking is what I would refer to - IRC2803.6.1 and UPC 608.5.

Almost positive it doesn’t qualify - it’s a flexible material. Let alone the fact that it’s no where near 6" from the floor.

The flex line connected to the copper line and ran outside. It terminated in a downward fashion 4" off the ground. The detached vent is probably from the original gas heater. The whole house had been converted from gas.
