coils and evaporators of equipment served by an on-site cooling tower in a building or structure wherein the aggregate cooling capacity of equipment exceeds 65,000 btu/hr shall be conveyed from the drain panoutlet and discharged to the cooling tower. Where an on-site cooling tower is not installed, the condensate from all cooling coils and evaporators shall b conveyed from the drain pan outlet to an approved place of disposal. Such piping shall maintain a minimum horizontal slope in the direction of discharge of not less than one-eighth unit vertical in 12 units horizontal (1-percent slope). Condensate shall not discharge into a street, alley or other areas so as to cause a nuisance.
Exceptions:
