The pictures from new condominium have problems?
TPR piping with fitting, and flexible dryer vent?
Any opinion, welcome.
Thanks.

Not sure what your question is, but as long as the TPR valve discharges within 6 - 12 inches of the floor and does not have a threaded end or made out of pvc(that apears to be cpvc) I don't see an issue.

I can't see the connection to the TPR, but CPVC is not the recommended material, and not allowed around here. Also, there is no drip leg on the gas connection. The dryer vent looks okay. It is the plastic vents that are problematic.

CPVC is all that is used around here in new construction.

They don't allow the CPVC around here because of the glues necessary to make the connection. Apparently they can get weakened by heat and on a discharge the pipe can pop off.
