Now if the P & T drain terminates into the pan that does not meet code. Hard to tell by the picture
I blew it up and it clearly drains under the house. Same as the smitty pan.
 
Like a pack of rabid ferrets you guys.

I put valves hot and cold as a practice. You can't see the cold shutoff.

Both drains daylight from there and are turned down. Gas shutoff is there.

Water in the pan is from a miscommunication "incident" with my helper. I got wet.

Be still your little hearts, I cleaned up and mopped.

Brent.

"… Excessive length over 30' (9.14m), or use of more than four elbows or reducing discharge line size will cause a restriction and reduce the discharge capacity of the valve. …"
Oh no........not that....after he burnt the wall and all.

I'm a cat person so here's my screen saver. But now that you mention it Brent, there's not a lot of difference. We could ask your helper about that.

Don't you have someplace you need to be?

Still wondering how he gets the solder to melt with his Estwing......Must have to hit it really hard to generate that much heat...

FYIUPC does not allow it to terminate under the house.
I'm pretty sure that Brent knows that. ;)

I just look at and think about the Seahawks last play call.

It melts.

I replaced my gas water heater recently. The second since I have lived in my house. This time, I put the manual gas shut off between the gas pipe and the flex hose. But I did not put any shut off valves between the water flex hoses and the water pipe. I don't know why, I have 1/2 wog valves in the van. I did have to dig more of the dirt floor out because this water heater is taller than the previous heater. And I put some concrete blocks on the dirt this time. If I make it another 20 years, maybe I will do it right at that time.

Tough crowd. I am so glad I did not post any pictures!

So is it in the crawls space?Come on man up and post some pictures :p.
No, it is in the non-crawl space. But in 1890, cellars did have dirt floors. Unless they put pieces of left over wood flooring on top of the dirt.
