Water Heater Requirements - City of Irving, TX
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 Irving TX licensed water heater technician and inspected by a licensed plumbing inspector.
A permit and inspection is required for a water heater installation. A drain pan is required on all water heater installations. If the water heater pan cannot be piped to the outside, a hose bib on the pan opening is required. This will enable the occupant to attach a hose and run it to the outside. If a temperature and pressure relief valve cannot be run to the outside a Wags valve or other approved similar technology is required.
