I bet there's a trail of these things all the way back to the store.
Picture at the top of the page, did someone forget some nuts on their anchor bolts? I can't tell what the picture is.
I am not sure about there being enough bolt above the plate...I am sure that there is a whole lot of hole for the bolt. The hole is permitted to be 1/16" larger than the bolt.Maybe the bolt doesn't project far enough above the plate for the threads to catch once a washer is installed?
Thats why they sell the large square washers.. The hole is permitted to be 1/16" larger than the bolt.
And that's why I ask them to remove a few large square washers.Thats why they sell the large square washers.
California rule? Seismic?I am not sure about there being enough bolt above the plate...I am sure that there is a whole lot of hole for the bolt. The hole is permitted to be 1/16" larger than the bolt.
Why the TPR on the supply piping?Contractor did an entire dwelling re-pipe with stainless steel pipe and fittings. I have never seen such a thing.

The picture has a TPR-valve one would find on a water heater, not a conventional pressure reducing valve. It even has the BTU limits on it.P2903.3.1 Maximum pressure.
The static water pressure shall be not greater than 80 psi (551 kPa). Where the main pressure exceeds 80 psi (551 kPa), an approved pressure-reducing valve conforming to ASSE 1003 or CSA B356 shall be installed on the domestic water branch main or riser at the connection to the water service pipe.
We have some areas in the city that the operating pressure is 90 to 95 PSI
The valve may be related to a water heater that has a Watts 210.The picture has a TPR-valve one would find on a water heater, not a conventional pressure reducing valve. It even has the BTU limits on it.

New to me.... here is some info to those who are not familiar.The valve may be related to a water heater that has a Watts 210.
The water heater in the picture is a code violation. Not more than one flexible appliance connector is permitted. From the Watts to the controls is always hard pipe.New to me.... here is some info to those who are not familiar.
