I don't know if it runs uphill - its in the wall/floor. My biggest question is why not just terminate in same room?
I explained wht the TPRV does and why it's there and my opinion that you should be able to see if it discharges. I also refered client to AHJ - their neighbor is a code inspector for the town. (Not home at time of inspection).

I didn't do any calculations, but the duct next to the WH was for air. Also drawing air from attic through vent in the ceiling.
