Plumbing Advice

[plutoniumJoe]

I am at a crossroads and I just want to make sure I proceed the most efficient way. My stand is done and I could move it in now but there is a drain issue that I want to think more about.

When I was removing my old sub floor I uncovered what looks like a drain or a clean-out.


I removed some of the concrete that was covering parts of the lip. At this point I am thinking it was plumbed when the foundation was poured for the possibility of a wet bar or sink and not a clean out. It would be the perfect spot for an emergency drain so that if I ever did overflow or have a disaster the water would simply go down the drain right under the tank. I am pretty certain that its pipe leads out under the wall to the garage where there is an existing function drain that I will use to drain my RO/DI water and do my water changes to. The grey rectangle show the drain direction to the wall.


The plug or cap is surrounded by hemp or whatever they used in 61 and poured lead. If I open this up am I looking for trouble or would an emergency drain be worth it?

Joe.
