Thank God for weepholes.

Elbow erroded out?

Good luck,

That's funny! However, without the weep hole the elbow may have continued to function indefinitely. The design, coincidentally, is similar to commercial erosion resistant elbows.
 
Good picture Big.
 
Weep hole for this kind of pipe leg support with pad is common practice. Check your company standard. If you don't see it, talk to your boss. It's original purpose is to vent the air during welding and drain condensation built up inside.
 
Yes. That's the company standard.
Here it is draining quite a lot of condensate.

haha! Good one.
 
Looks messy. Reminds me of a cow peeing on a flat rock. It goes everywhere!

Good luck,
Latexman
 
Looking at the algae bloom on the right side of the picture, it would appear that this fitting had been on its way out for quite a while.

That pic is a keeper.
