I would have just swapped the signs to their appropriate drains.

I’m hoping this was just a case of mislabelling that would’ve been too difficult to fix properly.

Actually this sign is still incorrect, this should be a “Sectional” drain. This appears to be a drain valve on a fire sprinkler system, probably in a stair tower. Behind the sign on the pipe is what looks like a site glass used to verify water flow through the pipe, usually found in stair towers with other control valves and water flow switches. There are three types on drains on a sprinkler system: Main, Auxiliary, and Sectional. This cannot be the “Main” drain; typically main drains are 2″ pipe (this looks like 1″) and at the beginning of the system. Probably not an “Auxiliary” drain as these are on low points on the system and do not need to have a site glass. Leads me to believe this is an “Sectional” drain – or could even be what’s called an “inspectors test” which is nothing like a drain. Either way the sign is still wrong and therefor not “fixed”.

Personally, I imagined this minor and forgotten pipe silently sabotaging all of the other drains, valves, and connections just so it could get it’s long-overdue recognition (at the expense of everyone in the building who wishes to use the plumbing, of coarse)

The label”drain” hangs mainly from a chain.

Main drains don’t die, they just gurgle away.
