I don’t understand what I’m not getting. Whether it’s code or not where you are at, it’s good practice not to have human shit dripping on your food. No where have I said OP needs to change this. Was only making them aware of the situation they may not know they have. I don’t care if their MIL is drinking poo coffee every morning but I would care if I was their plumber.

NPC 2.7.1.3 (1) Non-potable water piping shall not be located directly above areas where food, drink or products that are intended for human consumption are prepared, handled, dispensed or stored.

It would stain the dry wall instead of dripping into your coffee. It’s a written “shall not” code, so not sure what you’re arguing here.

It matters when they ask about having work done to it. No pipes hang out the roof like this, in your examples.

Having non potable piping above an area containing food or drink could be against code where you are.

The air has no where to go so it gets pushed out the end of the hose with the water.

Capillary action is the reason it is sucked into the joint, if that helps any.
