If we do a floor repair that includes the replacement of sketches, are we obligated/required to fix all nozzles that are not in code? I have thought that once you breach the corner joint which triggers a hydro, you should satisfy all code requirements. On this particular riveted tank, there are already three floors installed over the last 60 years. No nozzles have been changed, and the original manway rivited pad has been cut through twice.
