What are these plugs?

Did an inspection today on a 2020 build, block and stucco.

Not entirely sure what these plugs are doing. Any thoughts?

It’s no where near the Heat Pump or the air handler or the main service panel.

I realize it’s a conduit cap of some sort, I just can’t figure out why. My wild ass guess is a plumbing clean out, but it’s not near the sink or toilet or anything wet. Just sorta in the middle of the wall.

Thanks everyone. So it’s a clean out. Of what? Who knows.

Just struck me as an odd place to put them.
