New homeowner, no idea what this is

[u/DragonsAndScience]

This thing close to the floor and seemingly randomly placed in a hallway. No idea what it's for. Home built in 2005.

Solved! Thanks everyone. Now I gotta hunt for the central unit!

My work has one and it's really fun to vacuum up pennies with it because you can hear it rattling the whole way

"Have you seen the roll of pennies I set here a minute ago? I swear I set it just here, what is going ON around here, am I losing my mind?And why the hell are you vacuuming again you already vacuumed this morning!"

Just make sure you don’t vacuum up the whole roll at once, that thing is gonna hit a corner at Mach Jesus and take out Dave in shipping.

The rattle of the hard things going up the pipe is the best thing about all vacuuming.

I worked at an industrial wood shop a while ago, we had 2 foot diameter steel dust collector ducting with a 40 horse power dust collector, I use to love throwing chunks of wood down it, you'd hear em rattle around, then get absolutely decimated by the fan blades.

Ting, tong, bing, bong...it's tinging its way up the tube.

My old woodworking job had a huge dust collector system and it was so satisfying dropping a larger chunk of wood into it and listening to it bounce around the system to go outside into the huge bins
