It is not RV-related, but winterizing is what most of us do, so I hope-(knowing lot of smart people posting here) to get some answers.Bought a house in Las Vegas that was build by AA pilot (poor guy died few years ago).House is very sophisticated and when figuring out 40 audio controls was easy, I still have few of 120 light switches to label. What was mysterious for some time are 2 valves on the wall in master bathroom. I had water on and off due some other plumbing problems, but finally had a chance to see what they do. So in master shower ceiling I have 1" pipe sticking down. When I open each valve (who are on other side of the wall) I have water coming down from the ceiling pipe into shower. Looks to me like winterizing valve, but I frequent Vegas for last 30 years and so far have seen snow here only once-lasting about 6 hrAny explanation what da hack it was build for?

In Vegas? I think I'll have to come down and stay for a week and try and figure it out. On a day I'm sober.:B

Someone had an expensive shower head and took it with them. Put a rainshower head on the pipe. it.

Keyteg1 I have been in Vegas for many years and done work in many homes mostly track homes and we have no water pipes to drain the system during a freeze that never comes around but about every 50 years, since you said he had it built as a custom than that was what he thought he needed if he came from the East and did not knew we don't really get that cold.I have seen some weird stuff in some custom and track homes here in Vegas, this town has seen many builders come and go over the years some left good work but many left junk built homes.

It's like a tract home but spelled differently. What would we do without our spelling and grammar monitors?

.

That comes as only possible explanation, but wouldn't a commercial pilot know temperatures better?
Fact is that original builder spend lot of money on stuff 99.99 percent of people would never do.
I estimate there is about 20,000 W of installed halogen lighting on the house and 100 phone lines switch board for "only" 25 phone jacks. Sure you don't see it often, even in Vegas.
