TOPIC: Anything wrong in these pics pt.2

Speaking of pipe uses.  Does anyone have a updated list of piping types and what they are suppose to be used for?  I have one but its limited.  Its doesn't really have any plastic pipe types other than PVC.

I like to keep stuff like this for notes.  Lets face it, I'm a guy, I have goldfish memory!  lol

John,
The best thing you can do is find out what your local code enforcement uses.  IRC etc...  If you don't have a copy already, get a copy of at least the IRC 2003 or 2006.  Great reference.

There are also 2 tables.  The first table, P2904.4, lists water "service" pipes
The second table, P2904.5, lists water "distribution" pipes.

Jay,
Have you ever had an inspection and when you got home to do the report, you just sit there looking at your monitor, not sure of where to start?  That was me last night.  This home was 1300sq ft, owned by a contractor, and the biggest piece of s**t I have inspected in a looooong time.  I am going to post more pics.  I was hoping it would be an informative post(s) for some of the newer inspectors.

I almost always do the inspection on site with the client.  Even if they need to leave,  I do it there, save it on a thumb, and email it later, but I do the report on site.

Very informative Robert. Great stuff. Keep it coming.

Here is a link to some really good PDF's on plastic piping. I don't think there is any usage charts herebut there is some great reference materials.
