I am still training for my first inspections.
Recently I was touring a new res. construction in my neighborhood and noticed a 1/4" orange flexible pneumatic tube running around the perimeter of the main floor rooms, inside the wall cavity, about 12" off the floor. I traced it out to the condensers, maybe heat pumps, outside, but it wasn't connected to anything yet. Can anyone tell me what this was? Is it an HVAC component? Thanks, Tim |

Could be for the air gun?

What was the house source of heat?

Nope. I believe Brian's pesticide tube wins the day. I forgot to mention this was in Georgia.
The tube is only 1/4" and in the wall, not the floor. Learned somethin' new on that one... Thanks, Brian. Tim |

Those are common on all Centex homes in my area. That system does not have a great reputation here due to alleged clogging of the tubing and 'nozzles' after just a couple of pesticide applications. Perhaps they have resolved that issue.

Do not see them much here any more here either. I think Michael is correct and tube clogging was a problem.
