Jake,

I thought it might have been some kind of standard number, but it wasn't.

Saying that it can be used for a water heater T&P relief discharge line is like saying one can use a gun to shoot oneself with - it's not recommended, but, sure, it *can* be done - just not a real good idea.

Not sure there is a law against shooting oneself either, I mean, who are they going to charge for breaking the law - the dead body? "Hey, you there, laying on the floor, you are being charged with discharging a fire arm in the vicinity of one's head, leading to and causing the death of oneself." Yeah, right.

At least, though, with the white pipe, the code says don't use it for that unless it has been tested, listed, and labeled for that use, and, if you do use it when it has not been tested, listed, and labeled for that use, *YOU* are at fault, and *YOU* ain't "dead". (Not "you" as in you personally, but as in "you" being whoever did it.)
