Don't open that valve!
Hey Boys and Girls. Long time no post. All work no play lately. Guess that's a good thing. I do miss the banter sometimes. I will have some time in the winter to catch up here. Just wanted to say hello. And post this pic I shot yesterday. I was dumbfounded when I saw this valve mounted right on the end of the main waste stack. Hmmmm.......

Re: Don't open that valve!
Now, Joe, I'm sure there's a perfectly good reason for that valve.
Let us know when you find out what it is!

Re: Don't open that valve!
How about...?

So the owner has a garden hose with the male end bobbitized and replaced with a female end. Hook one end to this fitting and the other to the outside hose spigot. Open both valves and flush the drain line.

Another good reason for a backflow preventer on the hose spigot.

Re: Don't open that valve!
Wayne, that is seriously "twisted"! Nothing like bathroom humor. It somehow never seems to get old. Do really old men still laugh at farts?

Re: Don't open that valve!
brings new meaning to the term "sewer tap". Was there anything nearby that remotely could have been intended to connect to this spigot such as a washing machine?

Probably saw this done on Toolbelt Diva....
