Let me count the ways that this is wrong!

[Scott Patterson]

I stopped counting how many things were wrong with this find at an inspection today. We have issues with the water heater, HVAC, condensation removal, and the pipe that was used!

[Jack Feldmann]

Does the water heater have the proper nipples at the connections?
The whole condensate pump and TPR overflow piping is laughable.
Is the pump wired to thermostat circuit?
Is this a garage? Soft ducts?
Drip pan?

I'll look more later, I'm going for another beer.

TPR drain line to a condensate pump.......gotta say that I've never seen that.:dance:

[Vern Heiler]

You have to admire the effort: A trap in the T&P drain line:D.

Give the guy some credit. That is a work of art. Something you would see at a craft fair. He spent more time putting that pipe in than if he did it correctly.

Scott, that is a whole house steam system for bed bug elimination. Great shot!

Any chance we could wire the condensate pump to 220v so we could keep up with the T & P flow ?

No need, the trap is there to slow the flow:D.

Dear God -- just when you think you've seen it all, someone jumps up w/ some innovation. Along w/ the other flaws mentioned. 1) no trap on the AC 2) If the garage or mechanical room where the AH is - is a fire rated room (IE 1/2" drywall) the flex duct can not penetrate the drywall.
