My water heater has a 3/4" copper pipe from the T&P valve extending
down about 8" from the floor. I have a sump pit about 5 feet to the
left. I wanted to somehow route this discharge pipe into the pit in
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 have a sump pump and it starts up, it will burn out very
quickly, they are water cooled. Hot water is not going to cool it.


LMAO!! *that's a good one. *As good as this whole thread.
