shark teacher Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 Does anyone know when the residental code M1502.2 was enacted in Pennyslvania? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTL_Inspet_Man Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 According to what i see it was revised in the IBC in 2006 Modification Number: IRC 2006 29. Section: M1502.2 Duct termination. Anyway i do not unsterstand the why of the question. If it don't look right question it. Aroiund here we do not do code inspection but if knowledge and common sense dictates a potential problem and/or hazard we advise and report it accordingly.

shark teacher Posted December 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Thanks, I bought the home in 1992, first time home buyer, didn't know much. I recently replaced my dryer and was informed by the person installing it that it wasn't properly set up (it vents into my unfinished basement). So I'm going to fix it, but I was trying to figure out if I had been taken advantage of in '92. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLRambo Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 After 16 years who cares. Dryers are to vent outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely, you can call the manufacturer, and/or check their website, and get explicit instructions on how to install the vent. Mfr. specs trump code.

kurt Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Probably not actively taken advantage of. Greater likelihood of everyone just being really stupid and no one paying attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greater likelihood of everyone just being really stupid and no one paying attention. And with that, you have described perfectly the debacle that was the year 2008.

Mr Dryer Vent Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Originally posted by shark teacher Does anyone know when the residental code M1502.2 was enacted in Pennyslvania? Pennsylvania did not have a Building Code enacted or recognized prior to July of 2005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
