FHA deal killer? Toilet plumbed hot.

[Dana Whicker]

Hey all, I have a rehab under contract with an FHA buyer. The inspector noted that one of the 3 toilets is plumbed with hot water. I used one of the most reputable plumbers in town but I know how it happens, honest mistake.

The toilets are 1gpf toilets and I don't think it's a big deal at all myself but it's a big deal if FHA won't let it fly. Anyone know if it's a deal killer?

It's a huge deal. That hot water has to temp gauge. When it comes out it will be steaming hot, it's not safe and not code by no means. The inspector should Of caught it.

I would have the plumber come back open up the wall and switch them.

At his cost not yours. If he is reputable he will do it because he made the mistake.
