What is it? It looks like white, threaded PVC.

Improvisation can be a good thing. Well, it can if you are, say, a talented actor or musician...

Otherwise,

Alex PLU = Alex pathetically laughable use?

Potentially leaky use?

Probably leaky unions?

Perhaps Largely Useless?

Positively the Last Use?

Please Leave Upright?

Damn. I gotta get a life...

It's a caulk tube. Re-use is the best form of recycling.

I guess "going brown" is the new "going green"

Isn't that one of those caulkless connections?

What's the black fitting on top? I see what they did, but I don't see what they were trying to achieve.

That would be a mechanical AAV (air admittance valve). Its the wrong type of AAV for this construction but hey if your gonna use an empty tube of caulk for a pipe I guess it really don't matter.

Reminds me of a repair I did on a ranch house in Eastern Oregon. The place was over an hour from the nearest town that would supply any parts, so we had to improvise. The service pipe to the house burst, and they needed water. After scrounging through the shop (tractor parts), we found what I believe was some old hydraulic hose line (fairly clean?). We attached that with some hose clamps at both ends.

I refused to bury the "repair" and told them they needed to replace that pipe ASAP. The next time I showed up at the house, the pipe was buried. Did they make the repairs? I didn't have the heart to ask, but am sure they did not.
