I'm getting ready to build a "Florida Room" on the back of our house.
I'm clearing out some bushes and plants to make way for the addition.
I found a 1.5" sch.40 PVC pipe running straight away from the house,
next to the driveway pad, in between the pad and where all the
vegetation was planted.

On the far end out near the vegetation, was a PVC threaded end cap with
a pipe-thread adapter and a pneumatic male coupler tool connector.Â* The
nipple hole of the coupler had been sealed with what I think is pipe
solder.Â* I drilled it out and it had the same consistency.

I sent a plumbing snake up the pipe towards the house and it hits right
near the foundation, but not any further in.

Any ideas what this was used for?Â* First thing I thought was some sort
of hand watering quick connect.Â* But why 1.5" sch.40?

By the way, the inside of the pipe was bone cry and fairly clean.

Weird.

Other than the "pneumatic male coupler"Â* I'd guess it was put there in
case they wanted to run electric or water under the patio.Â* Also, are
your sure it's aÂ* Pneumatic coupler and not a high pressure hose or
water quick connector?Â* They look almost the same but are not.
Regardless, it would appear to me whatever it's purpose it was not used
so most likely put in "just in case".


I agree.
My guess was some sort of handheld watering system, but 1.5" sche40 is
not the way to go for that.
