Is a laundry tray a service sink for dfu value?
No. A service sink is a specific fixture that is labeled as a service sink by the manufacturer. A customer may use a laundry tray as a service sink, but that doesn’t affect the fixture units. Comm 82.30(8) – Date? When is a tee a heel-inlet fitting? A tee on its back can meet the radius requirement for a floor outlet water closet discharging to a horizontal line. It is not considered a “heel inlet” fitting, as the manufacturers don’t list it as a heel inlet fitting in their catalogues. Comm 82.30(11) – 5/29/06 Does a crawl space need a floor drain if a water heater is installed in the crawl space? No. The code only requires the drain where a plumbing fixture is located on a “floor” which is entirely below grade. The definition of a floor is an area on which a person stands. Since a crawl space does not meet that definition, a floor drain is not required by code when a water heater is installed in the crawl space. Remember, a receptor is still required for the T&P relief valve. Comm 82.
