This is on the underside of a roof in a store, so I am thinking this is for the roof drain.
What caught my eyes are the offsets in the PVC pipes, my guess these are 4" pipes.
The offsets are done with three straight couplings. My question is what kind of fitting/pipe is between each pair of couplings? It looks to be an elbow with a street connection on BOTH ENDS. I don't think I have seen an elbow with two street ends, so are these PVC pipes that were bent by heat?

a fitter can do pull-ups on properly supported piping
