Trying to sell a house in Florida, inspector flagged excessive bends on water heater pressure relief valve piping, but local code doesn't specify a limit; need to know if I can refuse to fix without violating code or if rerouting into wall is necessary.

Workarounds Described

• searched internet forums for code interpretation
• manually counted bends in photo to compare against hearsay rule

Implied Software Gaps

• Searchable code compliance database with location-specific bend limits and acceptable rerouting options
