djg0770 481 Posted September 16, 2017 Electrical conduits. Period. Not fuel oil, those would be copper, and not plumbing. Sorry. Rayray Is right. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if the two on the right were hot and cold water the one on the left is too small to be a drain pipe. I would guess the larger one was the electrical feed to some panel most likely where the plywood is and the two smaller ones went out to the circuits. Likely they fed two different solenoids for a sprinkler system. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ray Ray 3,566 Posted September 17, 2017 @bhunted, I'm an electrician so I knew as well. But if it makes you happy, you can take full credit. To the OP, don't touch the wires. Put the caps back on and move on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk More evidence of me being right. The fittings aren't copper, they are galvanized steel. The caps are plastic. It's a shoemaker job how the pipes ( One is a 1 inch line, the 2 others are 1/2 inch) where covered and the wires where left like that. The scrapper in me, and @junkmanted, would have pulled them out if possible. 4 minutes ago, Zeke said: Tie I said electric. I win! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
