Why It Is Written This Way
General Plumbing Advice Does Not Account For Denver
Most plumbing advice online is written for a house at sea level in a moderate climate. Denver is neither. Altitude changes how gas appliances have to be set up. Expansive clay works against buried lines year after year. Pre war housing stock means galvanized supply, cast iron drains, and boilers serving radiators that were installed decades before the boiler was.
These articles are written with those conditions assumed rather than ignored, because they are the conditions in the homes we work in every day.
