My water heater has a 3/4" copper pipe from the T&P valve extending

case somethig happens.
Obviously it would be easy if I used some kind of flexible hose rated
for high temps. Is there anything wrong in doing it this way? How is
it usally done?

If you route whatever pipe you use directly to and into the sump, how will
you know when it blows?

Obviously the BEST way is a connector, a couple of "Ls" and 10 feet of 3/4"
copper pipe (~$200.00).
