Another wonderful plumber. IRC applies.
No plumber did that.
is that yellow line NG or LP ? does it need to have a pitch to it?
Unfortunately this is new construction and it was performed by a "professional" plumber AND approved by the code inspector under the IRC.
Now it needs to be changed and done right by a real plumber
That is how that pipe is hung. Could be ward flex or trac pipe or one of the many other brands. I think most inspectors like it a bit tighter. It is ment to be loose so if a nail hits it it will move away.
Just incase you or anybody else didn't know.
I know we live in a government controlled, code crazy world, but I've seen a lot of sanitary tees on their backs in cast and pvc in all kinds of situations and they were never a problem. When I first started out and didn't know any better and we had no inspections and codes to deal with I did it when in a pinch, not saying at all it is right, just saying if I had a house with it plumbed like that and had to pay a plumber, I wouldn't go cutting them out just to make them compliant with the modern code. I would worry about proper venting and things that caused me issues, but not a tee on it's back.
So you really need to know what to use, when and why. It is the mark of a professional.
But this is a DIY forum! Doing It Your way
