Safety and relief valve discharge pipes shall be constructed of rigid pipe that is approved for the temperature of the system. The discharge pipe shall be the same diameter as the safety or relief valve outlet. Safety and relief valves shall not discharge in a manner that creates a hazard or a potential cause of damage or otherwise constitutes a nuisance. High-pressure-steam safety valves shall be vented to the outside of the structure. If a low-pressure safety valve or a relief valve discharges to the drainage system, the installation shall conform to the ASME Code and the Plumbing Code.
