***"New Type Of "Tee" Condulet***

This little gem was found in the same Attic, as the stuff found in the Finding Flying Splices thread.

I never even thought ANYONE would go through this much elaborate work, towards an unnecessary + non-compliant goal!

Imagine what the splices look like inside! [Linked Image]

Maybe he used up all his conduit bodies on the lawn sprinklers

Is that a pressurized waterline in that PVC run next to the "Tee"?

I didn't even see that one!!! [Linked Image]

Need to ask Jeff what the PVC is all about.

Will post the answer in the Next Episode:

Waterpipe, Schmawwter Pipe

or:

Look at My crazy Crap!

(think of the "Rocky & Bullwinkle Show", when reading the names of the "Next Episode")

I'd like to cite the Three Stooges short where they are busily removing wires from 'conduit'.....We've all seen this one... "Hey moe there's wires in these water pipes...nuk!...nuk!"

Violation of 110.Curly.Moe!!!

RSlater,

"Hey Moe! No wonder the water don't woik, the pipe is plugged up with wires." (Curly)
"So pull 'em out!" (Moe)
<Curly precedes by pulling the two wires out of the conduit, shaking the light fixture and causing the clock to fall off the wall, into a bowl of cake batter. Then Curly connects the water pipe to the conduit, whcoh fills the bulb with water, and it explodes. The stove starts shooting water, and the TV screen falls out in a waterfall. Coincidentally, a video of Niagra Falls was playing at the time.)
Yes, I have too much time on my hands.

Did y'all ever notice that the wire being pulled out of the conduit looks a lot like doorbell wire?

I have these guys on DVD [Linked Image].

What's that gray crud?

Yeah,
What is that in your left glove Scott?.
It looks like something covered with Duct-tape.
Duct tape has a very distinctive shade of silver, that is easily recognisable a mile away.

Looks like vermiculite .

The gray crud is either celulose(ground up newspaper with fire retardent) or rock wool both used as insulation. My guess would be cellulose

Another little thing of interest is that copper wire running across in front of the "tee".
That is the equipment grounding conductor [Linked Image]

It is probably connected to the cold water system someplace, and runs to the boxes forthe bath, kitchen, and laundry
This was an acceptable method of grounding in the '50s and early'60s, and was used with romex that didn't have a grounding conductor.
