Those are water lines. Qest is a polybutelene water pipe that was discontinued some years back. If you are going to cut them and cap them make sure that the cold main shutoff to the house is OFF...otherwise you will have a fucken mess in your home. They make fittings called Shark Bites that you can pick up at almost any hardware store...lowes..homedepot ETC. Ask for two 3/4 inch sharkbite caps. They just slip over the pipe...you push them over the pipe and you can feel the fitting when it bottoms out and locks in place...litterally super easy and quick and they WORK!
Gas valves can be yellow, red, green or blue. Depends on the manufacture of the valve. You would think that they would stick to one color but of course not...nothing can be that easy!!!
Also ..if you decide to cut the black drain pipe, be sure to cap it off because you do not want sewer gas coming back into the house. You can use a hack saw to cut the plastic pipe if you choose to. You can find what is called a Jim cap , its just a rubber cap that tightens with a hose clamp. That can also be found at lowes or homedepot. If you cant find the jim cap then ask for a ABS solvent weld cap...I think it 2 inch but it might be 1 1/2 inch. The black drain pipe has white lettering on it and it should say what size it is. It looks like 2 inch.
No worries
the space is much bigger than the picture shows and yes i am growing there. im doing this so i can get fresh air into the closet with the door closed and there is already a hole there. this plumbing will never be used again there is no need to have a washing machine/ dryer combo in the closet when we have a full sized one in another spot.
Now I got ya.
Don't mind Bucky.
nope, just patting myself on the back.
idk what your point is in this thread but i executed my plan perfectly and my water is working. there was no "fiery crash"
