[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 173549, member: 22"]I`ve never come across this type of piping before so I did some research. It is well known that the Romans installed lead pipes centuries ago. Wooden pipes were used in London during the 16th & 17th centuries. About 100,000 feet of wooden pipes were installed during WW2 in drainage culverts, storm sewers and conduits, under highways and at army camps, naval stations, airfields and ordnance plants. So yours could be a waste pipe. [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plumbing#Water_pipes[/URL][/QUOTE]
