It seem to be hot water in it. It's in a garage near the outside wall, maybe a outside faucet? There used to be spray insulation as you see in the picture.
It seem to be hot water in there. not sure.
If it's hot water, what type of primer and cement it require?
That is plastic pipe. either PVC or CPCV. Each has their own cleaner and cement. Look for any markings along the pipe. In your case you must get the broken right angle fitting off the vertical and horizontal pipes without damaging the first 1 inch of pipe (both pieces) or the cemented joints of the new right angle fitting may not be water tight. If either end is damaged, you will have to cut that pipe and use a coupling and short piece of pipe to reach the right angle fitting.
Most heating cables are not UL listed or approved for in wall use.
If that's just for the outside faucet.... it needs a shut off with a drain fitting.
Does that pipe go down and into the slab ?
Double sink with traps on each basin join into one drain pipe going straight back. A few days ago, both sinks began displaying backing-up water - clearly not a individual trap, but downstream of them. When I investigated, I found that the pipe goes into the wall (about 8in), then left about 28in, then down about 28in, then out from the wall about 4in, then right about 6ft to a wye into the main drain. What were they thinking? There is no pitch/slope on the six-foot section, so that is my first suspect, but I've been unable to get a snake to reliably enter that section -- past all the elbows is my suspicion. Any suggestions?
A number of years ago, when someone ground up a lot of potato peels into that drain, they seemed to clog in the wye - I snaked UP from the cleanout to the wye and got a boatload of guck loose, FWIW. I'm reluctant to think that wye is plugged again because of the mess it made when the clog cleared :-)
We've been in this house for over 30years and I'm getting less impressed with the plumbing by the year/month/day/hour.
Hi. I want to add a sink in a room separated by a concrete wall from laundry room. The vent pipe is buried inside the wall so the only option is to connect the sink drain into washers stand pipe. I've read that it's doable as long as the stand pipe is 30" high from the p trap and the sink drain is 30". The only thing is that I wouldn't get 30" from the stand pipe to the sink, and I dont want to drill through the concrete wall diagonally to get the proper pipe lenght so my option is to add an elbow and curve the drain pipe to achieve 30". Washer and Sink (no p-trap) -> Sanitary Tee -> Stand Pipe (p-trap) -> Vent Is this an option? Is it fine to have the sink drain line curved/bent to make it longer? Should the pipe from the sink to the stand pipe be under a slight decline angle? Would this configuration be fine or is there a risk that the washer washer comes out the sink? Something like this. Sorry for making it so messy https://imgur.com/a/adbiVyY This one's a bit better, but the vent pipe is inside concrete wall. The line circled in yellow would be curved. https://imgur.com/a/kH0IGg8 PS. Im in Florida Thank you!
