Eric B Posted December 9, 2007 Report Posted December 9, 2007 Aside from the established fact that I have no idea what I'm looking at, which might explain why it's in Texas (USA?), what is the little vertical pipe with the black cap?
hausdok Posted December 9, 2007 Report Posted December 9, 2007 I'm guessing that it's an A-frame hooch with metal roofing oriented the wrong way on the roof/walls. OT - OF!!! M.
Bain Posted December 9, 2007 Report Posted December 9, 2007 Doesn't PVC used for exterior ducting have to be insulated? : ) The pipe with the cap is a sewer vent. I see them in old neighborhoods with mature trees. The caps prevent the vents from getting clogged by leaves, etc. I assume those are supply runs. Aren't the swooshes on the Ts improperly oriented? Or is it inane to even critique such a system?
ozofprev Posted December 10, 2007 Report Posted December 10, 2007 With a little red paint, the image of candy canes on the roof would be quite festive.
Eric B Posted December 10, 2007 Report Posted December 10, 2007 Bain, Serious? Vent pipe for sewer?? Jeepers! I've never seen one that small. Around here you gotta account for frost forming inside the pipe and closing it off.
Bain Posted December 10, 2007 Report Posted December 10, 2007 Well, but I'm just looking at a photo. Around here, some 100-year-old houses have 1 1/2" vents.
