I had a discussion about this very thing with one of the technical guys at SELECT a couple of years ago when doing a PIR.

I thought it was a code 2 but he said it was only a code 4.

much to the relief of the home owner who thought he was gonna have to wreck his new kitchen to get a satisfactory report for his building warrant.
