Here is one from yesterday’s inspection.
It is the WH TPR valve discharge pipe (rubber hose) connected directly to a drain pipe…

Someone forgot to cap the cast iron plumbing system before running the septic dye test. Sump is full and a new pump was installed, one problem, there was no electric in this area to plug the pump into.#-o

My favorite water heater of all time. From back in 2005. OK so technically it’s not one picture, but it is one item. There was too much there to be contained within a single image. I had multiple pages dedicated to describing defects with the water heater alone.
If it doesn’t qualify, just toss it out. I’ve got lots more where that one came from.:twisted:

This is my ultimate plumbing pic…
Why bother purchasing the properly sized piping when you can simply melt it with it blowtorch, bend it in place and then reinforce it with an extension cord.
Perfect uphill plumbing…

It looks like we need one more picture to get the poll going.
Anyone help us out with a good one?
