Had a plumber install a pressure relief drain line with air gap for the water heater in the laundry area. It does not go to the sink nor does it go to a drain in the floor, just inside the wall that is partially open. The issue is that the laundry area is very small, just enough room for the washer and dryer side by side and pushed back as far to the wall they can go. The air gap/drain line is not 'readily' observable in my opinion because it is directly behind mostly the washing machine and dryer.
They were to originally run this to the exterior like the my other place and did not do it. This was their decision to run it this away. It was explained to them that a washer is not easily moved and will be stationary most of the time and I wanted to be able to examine the pressure drain line easily to sure it is not having problems.
What is the CODE definition of 'readily observable' ? I wanted to be able to force them to run it to the exterior like they were originally plan to do.
