1006.6 Safety and relief valve discharge.
Safety and relief valve discharge pipes must be of rigid pipe that is approved for the temperature of the system. The discharge pipe must be the same diameter as the safety or relief valve outlet. Safety and relief valves may not discharge so as to be a hazard, a potential cause of damage, or otherwise a nuisance. High-pressure-steam safety valves must be vented to the outside of the structure. Where a low- pressure safety valve or where a relief valve discharges the drainage system, the installation must conform to the International Plumbing Code. All discharges to floor drains must be from within 2 to 6 inches (50.8 mm to 152.4 mm) from the drain.
