Water-Heater T&P Relief and Discharge
Checks the T&P relief valve's rating against the heater input and reports the IPC 504.6 discharge-pipe size and requirements.
Formula and source
rating_ok = valve_rating >= heater_input; discharge_in = valve outlet (never reduced). Output is a pass/fail and the IPC 504.6 discharge checklist, not a continuous quantity.
IPC 2021 Section 504 (504.4 valve rating vs heater input, 504.6 discharge piping) and ANSI Z21.22 / CSA 4.4 by name; first-principles comparison.
