Default What's this for???

Any ideas what this is for? It is under the home on the commode drain line.

Maybe the plumbers had some leftovers they wanted to get rid of??

Looks like a sorry attempt at an island (or high loop) vent.

Mike,

It looks as though that pipe is in the crawl space....Did you map it out? Im curious to know what it is connected too.

How far away is the nearest vent, VTR? We used to do that when we were pressure testing, and then would later connect the vents.
