Anatol Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Fellow Inspectors, Found this in new construction. The tub faucet rotates, see pictures. Is this by design or an improper installation. There was no sign of any leaking at or below the fixture. Anatol Click to Enlarge 25.31 KB Click to Enlarge 24.42 KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anatol Posted May 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Thanks, That confirms my thoughts. Model home and when the dishwasher leaked, the rear patio was covered with water... Anatol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
