Pressure relief discharge line should be sloped downward, hints from a home inspector
Pressure relief discharge line should be sloped downward the entire length (not trapped) to prevent a condition which may damage the valve mechanism. These valves can be periodically tested by lifting the lever handle on the top of the valve. If water does not discharge, it should be replaced. Inspection limitation: the relief valve is not tested during a visual inspection. When opened the valve will often stick. You may desire to test the valve during the final walkthrough. If so, be sure the outlet of the valve is not directed at yourself or others. Any problems with this very important valve should be corrected immediately. Contact a plumbing contractor for further assistance.
