I'm having my master bath remodeled and in doing so we pulled out the old double sink vanity yesterday. Under the sink on one side there is a 3/4 inch PVC pipe coming out of the wall near the drain pipe. There is a short pipe, about five inches in length, connected between the sink drain line and the P trap. That short pipe has a 3/4" Tee with a black hose connected between the PVC pipe and the Tee. The pipe coming from the wall has a very slow drip which drains into the drain line via the hose. I think it might be a condensation line from the A/C or ?? I asked at the local hardware store while purchasing a new angle stop valve, and was met with a blank stares. I looked under the sink of my neighbor's identical home and there is no such pipe.
I placed a container under it for now, but it will be at least a week before the new vanity is installed and plumbed. In the mean time it fills a small trash can in 4-5 hours. Today I plan to buy a longer hose to temporarily connect the PVC pipe directly to the drain line so I don't have to be emptying buckets for the next week or so.
Please educate me, where is this pipe coming from and what is the purpose?
Thank you......
