Brian , I was told many years ago that this little arrangement was there to assure that all the water had been removed from the required 4 ft. of pipe on the heated side of the test connection before the wall penetration.This would be removed after testing and tied to the ITC for re-use by the next inspector. I don't know if this is what everyone else has as an opinion , but that's my story and I'm stikin' to it.
