It is called the communication pipe up to the boundary, then becomes the supply pipe ... riser, rising main - A vertical distribution pipe or cable, usually run inside a services riser shaft or duct, to bring electrical power, cold water, or gas to the upper storeys of a building [Scott/Penguin Dict of Bldg] |
