Proposed Addition to International Plumbing Code |
| 504.6 Relief valve breakaway fitting. Pressure, temperature, or combination pressure-temperature relief valves with a threaded discharge port of ¾” (19.1mm) be equipped with a full size,tamperproof, break-away fitting installed in the discharge port of the valve. The break-away fitting shall comply with CSA 1-06 US. |

Most jurisdictions can make amendments, but only if the amendment is stricter than the code and adds to overall safety improvements.
All T&P valves with a threaded dischage port of ¾” shall be equipped with a full size, tamperproof, break-away fitting installed in the discharge port of the valve. The break away fitting shall comply with CSA 1-06 US. |
