Part 10 (2/2)

Galvanized iron, heavy lead, and bra.s.s are used. Wooden pipes were once used and stood years of service. No service smaller than 1-1/4 should be used.

When the water service pipe pa.s.ses through the foundation wall, the pipe should not be built in, but a small arch should be built over the pipe or a piece of XX cast-iron pipe can be used as a sleeve (Fig. 44).

[Ill.u.s.tration: FIG. 44.--Free s.p.a.ce around pipe pa.s.sing through wall.]
