@siteinspections: How should you finish the condensate drain on a roof! This is a very common non-compliant item that I pick on. Letss Goooo The Nation Construction Code Volume 3 2015 Section E Heating, Ventilation & Air conditioning, Part E1.2 General Requirements (f) stated the following: Vic E1.2 General requirements (f) Condensate drains and bleed down drains installed in heating, cooling and airconditioning equipment (including evaporative coolers) other than cooling towers must discharge to any of the following: (i)an evaporative tray if specified by the manufacturer; or (ii)a sanitary drainage system by way of a tundish or self-sealing device, which complies with either clause 4.6.7.8 or clause 11.21 of AS/NZS 3500.2 ; or (iii)a surface water drainage system; or (iv)an absorption pit, but only if a sanitary or surface water drainage system is not available and the discharge water will not cause damage to buildings or facilities by changing soil moisture conditions; or (v)a stormwater downpipe directly over the connection to the roof gutter; or (vi)directly to the stormwater downpipe below the connection to the roof gutter provided a means of overflow or reverse flow protection is incorporated. #siteinspections #Australia #firsthomebuyer #hvac #nccvol3 #roof #plumbing #propertyinspections #rental #rent #propertyinspectionmelbourne #buildinginspection #building #houseinspection #planter #renovation #vba #waterleaks #buildingandpestinspection #builders #realestate #extension #defects #plumbers #roofing #carpentry #building #builder #victoria #newhome #cracks #defects #Australianstandands #plumber #newconstruction #homeinspection #mould #standards #buying #newhome #roofing #tile #waterproofing #membrane #compliance #mould
