Can someone confirm something for me on code vs. ethics? Long story short (and spare the unnecessary details) my new employer had a new HVAC unit installed shortly before I came aboard. Two things I saw were wrong - one is the air return duct was not sealed against the unit (about a 1" gap on one side!). The other is that the drain pan that it sits in has about 6" of drain pipe that is capped. Is it allowable to *not* drain it? If/when the unit overflows, it will come right in our ceiling.
An "inspector" came out and said it was okay, but I speculate that they just checked the gas line. The unit was a replacement and apparently the old one was not in a location within code because it was placed between a truss and the firewall between offices. There appears to be a drain line went from that location to somewhere.
Thanks for the comments.
