From a 3rd generation fitter with 12 years under my belt I’ll say I can tell you take pride in your work BUT PLEASE tell me you went through and put plugs in all the ball valves. Trust me when I tell you a box of plugs is well worth not having to go out and reset a dry valve cause some idiot hits a handle they shouldn’t be touching.
Ill put plugs after i finish testing and tripping the system . This is a new building with six parkade levels . I put street 90's on the ends so i dont dirty the walls when i drain the system , i do know what you mean though .....
I don’t even know what to say to that make shift low point. Very creative. You’re a better man than me. Code is code and if the GC don’t like it tough shit. This is going where it’s supposed to. Sorry if it cost you a couple extra bucks.
I st time i did that haha Was looking at the drain 90 and thought i would just add a ball valve call it a low point, then the idea ,i had some extra end caps and scrap pieces of pipe . Why not make it a real 'DRUM' drip!
In the US that heel elbow drain setup WILL pass inspection as long as it’s just meant to serve as an auxiliary/low point drain. How do I know? Because I’ve been a field super in NYC for years performing my company’s inspections and we have the strictest code requirements in the country
Everybody follows NFPA . The code is the same for everybody . If you look at the contributors writing and reworking the code you will find that there is also Canadian participation .
That’s some fantastic pipe work my brother
Very clean work. Good job.
Thanks

You have the “strictest” code requirements in the country???? NYC is 98% scab work.
Whats a heel elbow ?
