inspectorwill Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Is there any prohibition against plumbing the A/C condensate to a TPR extension? See photo. Click to Enlarge 52.27 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Moore Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 It's wrong. If you are using the IRC for plumbing, the code you want is P2803.6.1.4 Click to Enlarge 35.87 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 It depends on what code you ask. The IRC says that the TPR relief pipe shall serve a single relief device and shall not connect to piping serving any other relief device or equipment. The UPC doesn't have any similar restricition.

inspectorwill Posted April 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Thanks and wish we had a common sense building code. Kind of a contradiction of terms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edwardh1 Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 I worked in a Chemical distillation plant once, it was a new design, and all the very high pressure relief valves were tied into the very low pressure relief valves on some control system, with predictable results when the high pressure side lifted once.
