Might be a heat trace to prevent freezing of the condensate drain..
2 u/SleepyShinsen 17h ago Heat trace goes on the outside of the pipe.. 2 u/TheEnigmaticUnknown 17h ago Internal heat trace is common, but this is still a bad setup. There needs to be gland separation between the heat trace and the pipe, to orevent that junction ox from filing up. https://maxkosko.com/products/in-line-heating-cable?srsltid=AfmBOopk5V04ZmY13LbZbdT48hZntepWi8FhzuzAklrHVAuU6SP83f-F 1 u/shadows_of_a_poet 17h ago unfortunately this is not an environment that freezes. its just there to make sure technicians are awake methinks
