Phil,

Also, and without going into all the gory details here (someone will, I am sure, provide a link to the information), this was discussed at length recently and the code does not allow the a/c condensate drain to make that direct connection - it must go through an air gap connection (not an air break, not a direct connection, but an "air gap" connection - *where allowed*. Without looking it all back up, my recollection is that it *is not allowed* regardless (when someone searches for the other thread and links to, all the views and supporting documentation will be there).
