My question is, does the hot water tank pressure relief valve pipe that goes to a leak pan underneath the hotwater tank ok to just let it go to there, or does that pan have to drain to the outside, or if not feasible for outside because of location of tank, is ok to connect to an existing drain? Would it be a code requirement?
I do not like the idea of just have the water from the pressure relief discharging onto the floor by over filling a pan. I was told you cannot run the pressure relief pipe directly/connect to a drain line because of code, it has to be free open to where it can be seen.
