Hello
The images show either side of our front door. One is a "spare cable conduit" that goes down to the equipment room where all the important stuff is (water, heating, alarm, etc.).

I don't know if this will ever be used, but I wonder, what would you do with it before sealing the wall?

Just put a box at any height and be satisfied? :)
Or should I close the wall and photograph with the ruler so I can drill a hole and find it again and place a terminal box?

The other image shows two water pipes coming out of the wall. The upper one goes to the spigot on the exterior wall and the lower one is the supply to it.

I can't reach my plumber now because of the vacation, but the outer pipe for the supply (pipe in pipe), surely that hose should go out through the OSB and drywall? I was thinking so that I don't make a big hole if a small one suffices, or cut the outer casing inside the OSB board and thus waste some quite important function of Pipe-in-Pipe. :)

Thanks!
 
I would pull it down as far as possible. Let it stick out a little under the baseboard. Would ensure that it is absolutely straight vertically. If necessary, remove the baseboard and move it a little higher with the rotdosa. And would pull a cable, nylon line, or anything else to avoid problems with wiring in the future.

RiR should stick out a few mm. The idea is that in case of a leak, water should seep out of the pipe. Not into the wall! Out outside and indicate leakage. Out OUTSIDE the facade! You can angle it slightly downward. So that no water can get in.
