Guy I work worth, had an inspector tell him that all bathfans in a commercial building needed to be ran in BI pipe, few years ago.

Luckily, i dont do many installs in NY. Man that sucks. Oh well, more hours billable.
Gotcha! Lucky here too.

I was in NY last year and replaced a system for some friends, It was installed in 86 when the entire town house development was built. Every system there had black ABS on the drains and it was ran over into the washing machine standpipe. What if the system uses a condensate pump? does the clear vinyl hose fall into the category? Just curious! I wonder if this is code in other states? All other states I worked in used plastic.

Wow that is just horrible.
vent is in the wrong place

I've seen this for the interior due to smoke given off during a potential fire but typically if it is outside, you can use pvc. Although I think that is the last thing the inspector would care about on this unit!

At least you can make snow cones while you wait for it to defrost.
Horizontal airhandler installed outside......sucking outdoor air for the return? never even heard of hackery that low.
This is unique a/h unit. NYC building on 37 th floor. Outside on the terrace. Rain, snow ets. No air filters, poor return air flow. Disaster.
SOB what a trap
Looks like the lineset is frozen up so it leaks when it Thaws??????
I see the freezing up too!
all I see is expensive copper. My boss would crap if used copper when 3/4 pvc would work.
they need a cap on the drain but why was it freezing up?
