What kinda wires are these ? [Pics provided]

[kulkarnipb]

So, my new house is being constructed and I visited it and saw these wires/cables ( orange color, pics attached) . What are these ? What is the purpose ?

 

[DefyG]

Presumably the same as the black ones. My guess would be communication/data cabling?
I'd be more concerned about what is under the tape, is it joined satisfactorily?

 

[Timbo]

Suggest you ask your electrician.
I suspect you are in the USA?

Perhaps @Megawatt can help.

They look more like pipes than wires.
are they near the bathroom? Possibly some fancy shower or bath tub?

 

[SJD]

As James says, possibly pipes. For example, connecting to pressure switches to turn on/off some fancy whirlpool or similar?

Could be a draw cable to bring in a supply?

Holes they pass through are too small to pull anything through.

Surely they Can't be the finished connections with just a small twist of black insulation tape looks rough as a badgers

 

[kulkarnipb]

Yes, house is in atlanta, gerogia, USA. These cables/wires are throughout the house (all the rooms including bedroom etc).

I think you need to ask the builder/electrician - we will just be guessing.

They look more like small bore pneumatic tubes than cables

I wondered that, but not sure about the taped joints where they join from orange to black.

Sure, will do and post here too. I have a meeting with builder later this week. These are hollow very thin diameter tubes.

I suspect that is tape covering a pipe connector rather than the tape forming any functional part of the joint

 

[DPG]

Hang on, are they fibres?

Could be yeah. Bit amateur looking though. Mind you some of that framing timber looks a bit ropey!

Could be tube for a blown fibre?

They look more like some kind of tubing or maybe fiber optic cables.

 

[Nelder]

Maybe something to do with your HVAC?

DP sensor tubing?

Ok, so I spoke to the builder and these tubes ( wires ) are for injecting pesticide. There is (outside the house) a small injector opening through which the pest control contractor or homeowner ( if a DIY guy ), will inject pesticide and it will spread inside the wall through micro openings these tubes have.

Found a video explaining the same-

Interesting - I've never heard of that. Thanks for letting us know.

I bet none of us would have guessed that!

Yeah maybe pipes for a spa bath etc, but these were all over the house. That's why I wondered if they were for fibre. But nobody guessed pipework for pesticides!

Thanks for letting us know because you had us all guessing. Exterminator piping I never would’ve guessed.

Keeps the bugs out the data system, I suppose
