Now wait just a minute guys ...
Didn't we just have a long thread and debate over the heat of the water going out the T&P discharge pipe?
Didn't you guys (or maybe it was someone else) tell me that it just dribbles and does not allow large amounts or HOT water or steam out?
Bill,
That's where I've seen them, except that I've always seen them doing it with copper.
I would open the valve and, astonished, 'GASP! IT'S LEAKING!', I would pronounce to my client and whomever else was nearby. They would all rush in and ask 'WHAT'S LEAKING?', then I would show them.
My client's never liked that and I recommended they call a plumber to correct it. The seller would say 'But it's never leaked before.'
