Fixtures & Water HeatersPregunta 68 de 120
A 50 gallon water heater is installed in the attic above a finished ceiling. A drain pan is required. What is the minimum size of the pan drain line?
a.1/2 inch
b.5/8 inch
c.3/4 inch
d.1 inch
Explicación
Where leakage would cause damage to the structure, a pan is required and its indirect drain must be at least 3/4 inch in diameter, discharging to an approved location. 1/2 inch and 5/8 inch are undersized and would not carry the flow of a leaking tank. A 1 inch pan drain is permitted as an upsize but is not the code minimum being asked for.
