City of Sachse TX Water heater installation requirements
July 29, 2009
Effective September 2007, the Texas State Legislature enacted into the Plumbing License Law additional wording to specifically include water heaters in their list of plumbing fixtures, required by law, to have a plumbing permit issued prior to installation. In addition, the law provides that such installations be done according to current codes by a Sachse TX licensed master plumber and inspected by a licensed plumbing inspector.
The City of Sachse Texas follows the 2003 International Plumbing Code.
The T & P line must be brought to up to current code requirements.
Water Heaters installed in the garage: A pan and drain line is required ONLY if leakage from the water heater will cause damage to the interier of the home.
Water heaters must be installed according to the manufacturer’s installation requirements. Due to recent changes in the manufacturer’s specifications, most gas water heaters require a gas sediment trap on the gas line to the water heater.
