dtontarski Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 The homeowner installed a gas fireplace in their family room, and as they now have an electric range installed in their kitchen, they ran an appliance connector up through the floor from the basement, to tap into the now out of service shut off valve in the kitchen behind the electric range. I called it out as a non-standard hook-up with potential safety issues and recommended it be corrected. I'm looking for the specifics on why this is wrong - including applicable code cites. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks! Download Attachment: Gas Hook-up.jpg 81.56?KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 The flex connector isn't supposed to run through a floor. Says so right on the tag in the picture. In the IRC, the prohibition is at 2422.1.2.3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Whitmore Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Jim is correct of course, and........... You've got some amazing eyesight. I keep squinting and can't read the label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kogel Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 It looks like it would have been easier and cheaper to do it right. Go figure. [?] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
