Yeah, so run them damn things outside in freezing weather...
Idiot!

Obviously you have no conception of the purpose of a
temperature
and
pressure relief valve.


You obviously don't know anything about them or the codes that
pertain to them.

Sigh:

"IRC P2803.6.1 Requirements of discharge pipe. The outlet of a
pressure
relief valve, temperature relief valve or combination thereof,
shall
not
be
directly connected to the drainage system. The discharge from the
relief
valve shall be piped full size separately to the floor, to the
outside
of
the building or to an indirect waste receptor located inside the
building."

Here's why:

"People don't like to test their T&Ps. But then, we don't think
it's
so
much
fun to wake up in the hospital, or to patch a big hole in the
roof,
either.
When water heaters explode, it's catastrophic. People are injured
or
die;
buildings are severely damaged. Test your T&Ps! And one more
thing:
T&P
drain lines should go down and out. Never up. If the valve opens,
water
will
pool there and corrode it shut. Or freeze in the line in colder
climes.
We've seen lines plumbed uphill so many times we've lost count.
But
there
SHOULD be a drain line, usually to within about six inches of the
floor,
or
plumbed outside. That's code around here [California]. It's to
prevent
you
from being scalded if the valve should open while you're standing
next
to
it."

It is the White Man's Burden to enlighten the benighted. I'm glad
I
was
able
to assist you.


No assistance needed, I already knew that.

No you didn't.


I posted about it (first), Duh!

Your lies don't cut it. HeyBub's post clearly shows that your claims
weren't true. Got it, boi?



My lies? You mean your bull****?
Heybub on the other hand, couldn't even understand that I was merely
playing with my pet and was be sarcastic.


"was be sarcastic" ??? drunk again monkey boi?

Fact is that you're telling lies again in a foolish attempt to cover-up
your incompentence. Sorry, it won't work.



Geez, you can't comprehend anything.
As if that's any surprise.


Just remember to keep dancing monkey boi.



It's not called dancing, it's pointing out your inaccurate bull****.

When you pull your head out of your ass and admit your incompetence I'll
stop making you dance monkey boi. In the mean time just remember to keep

on
dancing monkey boi.



You are, Faggot.
Did you get your treat this morning?
