exterior faucet

Author: plastec01 (NJ)

I had a deck put on the house and the faucet would have been in the deck. So I hired a plumber to move it up.

He came and put a 90 deg fitting and was going to run the copper pipe just under the cedar shakes (on the face of the ledger board). I objected and insisted on him running plastic line thru the sill plate.

There is a drain for the line.

His boss then argued with me that it was fine and to code.

I am not sure how he planned on putting on a nailer plate but this just seems to me to be poor workmanship, a copper line under a cedar shake in the north east. my way I had insulation between pipe and wall and PEX rather then copper.

His argument was he was the master plumber.

Am I too picky ?
