Installed a new PRV and expansion tank for a new customer today. The connection at the exp tank dribbled on for a while as I waited to screw the new tank in. I flipped up the T/P valve to try to mitigate the flow at the connection so that I could remove the blown-out tank and install the new one. That worked, so I installed the new tank then went back and turned the water on. I checked for leaks at the PRV and then leisurely sauntered back to the utility room to check the expansion tank. The floor was 2" deep in water and rising. I'd left the T/P valve flipped on. The pop-off line was piped into the a/c condensate pump, and it was running over like crazy.
So, here's the question. Is there any place on God's green earth where it's legal to run the pop-off line into the a/c condensate pump? Yes, I forgot to snap it back down, but to what extent should I feel culpable for the wet carpet. (I spent two hours vacuuming water and setting up fans and all that). I had a bad day.
