DirtyDigz 1,811 Posted September 15, 2017 Constructed mid-70's. Hot/cold water supply and drain makes sense, and would be awesome - Would be great to put a sink there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NJGF 375 Posted September 15, 2017 I am pretty sure these are connections for the flux capacitor. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bhunted 887 Posted September 15, 2017 I think they are electrical conduits for underground service. Lot of contractors may put extras in for cable service, etc. Not to worry. Its a good thing.Take a cap off and look fown. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think there's a splinter of plywood lifted up at the top that is giving the illusion of a space/compartment behind it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bhunted 887 Posted September 15, 2017 The 2 small have copper fittings. I dunno. One don't look big enough for a drain. If water, I'd think all pvc. )scratching head and getting splinters under my nails(Still thinking for electrical services.

DirtyDigz 1,811 Posted September 15, 2017 Construction may have pre-dated availability of PVC pipe. I'll try removing the caps tonight and see what I see. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

diamondd817 826 Posted September 15, 2017 I never seen water/drain pipes made from conduit. Looks like an old service or a sub panel. The larger pipe was probably the service lines and the small conduit probably feed outside electric. Definitely not water pipes, unless it was a DIY/homeowner with no clue what he/she was doing. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lostboy 105 Posted September 15, 2017 We have pipes like that at my shop. Used to be a gas station and those were for the wiring to the pumps.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Ray 3,566 Posted September 15, 2017 Original electrical service Edit that, it's too low. It's electric, just don't know what for. I need more info 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobA 1,235 Posted September 15, 2017 Definitely electric of some sort. Just curious, didn't you ask who you bought the house from? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could be sink, or they cut down the conduits. The plywood nailer is low. Which is weird, cause you don't rilly need that for plumbing. Bomb shelter, air filtration system!

bhunted 887 Posted September 15, 2017 You have underground service and box outside? See if the other ends appear there.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
voyager9 3,434 Posted September 15, 2017 External wiring for old garage or shed? Do you have a fountain or coy pond with pump? Low voltage for stuff like landscaping lights wouldn't need conduit, right? maybe your neighbor used it to steal your cable? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
voyager9 3,434 Posted September 15, 2017 Another thought: do you have a bank next door? Might be how you make deposits. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maintenanceguy 510 Posted September 15, 2017 looks like EMT compression couplings on rigid conduit. Electrical. But the way they're spaced sure looks like two plumbing supply lines and a drain. The larger pipe is too far from the wall to feed a long forgotten electrical panel. I vote electrical or plumbing or natural gas or something else. Take the plastic caps off of the big line and take another photo so we can see the metal fitting better. If it was an old sink, the larger, drain line won't be under pressure. Of course, turn the fitting slowly. If it's something else, you want to be able to tignten it back up before you flood the garage. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SW9racer 262 Posted September 15, 2017 Do you think it's for an old underground oil tank? How old is the house. Large pipe is the filler, small for the feeder the other for the bleeder. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
