If you're talking about the device in the foreground it's a control valve for an irrigation system. If you're talking about the ground connection that is something else entirely.
It was painted ... how were they supposed to know it was plastic.
That's the problem with virtual inspection. According to the contractor this is the water main. It it at the front of the dwelling and far away from the service panel. I thought that the sprinkler valve was tapped into the main before the main shutoff. But as usual, what do I know? I think a shovel is needed.The plastic pipe behind the sill cock is probably for the lawn sprinkler goes to the combined backflow preventer and sprinkler control valve in the foreground, the bond appears toe be on the metal pipe going into the building and hopefully the metal water main.
The paint came after the clamp and the white pipe is visible.It was painted ... how were they supposed to know it was plastic.
Looks like an exhaust fan housing. Wiring looks like it splits power for a fan and light.This was found during a review of pictures for a PEX re-pipe virtual inspection. There's a sheet metal something below it....any ideas what that might be. The yellow and black cable looks like it may be a whip.

I agree on the two NM taped together. But my thought is that each is an independent circuit. One for the light, the other for a fan.Two yellow NM taped together....for 220 wiring?
