Hi!
Anyone knows what is the purpose of this metal pole we found sticking out of the wall!?
Is placed in a closet room where there was a central vaccuum which we have removed and a hanging rag. Was covered by a plastic case which we thought was containing cables, but we got this surprise.
Can be cut!? Or better hide it one again?

Please show a close-up of the end of it. Is it a massive rod or a pipe? Copper or steel? Try with a magnet.
It's hard to see on the photo, is it a solid rod which was cut with bolt cutter or a squashed pipe? In a latter case I wouldn't dare to cut it, but if it's just a rod, then I don't see why not.

As it is it serves no purpose. I do not think it is a grounding or earthing device since aluminium would be a strange choice of material.
Have you located the other end of the rod?
I would just cut it flush with the floor.

Then I'd cut it, because it serves no purpose here. If it is going deeper into the soil and it was local earthing, it's not connected anywhere at the moment. I mean, of course it could have also been an antenna disguised as a useless aluminum rob, installed by the shady government to radiate citizens, but... I guess maybe not.R Rebie skrev:
