Book excerpt: Excerpt from Country Plumbing Practice: Design, Installation and Repair of Systems of Water Suuply and Sewage Disposal for Country and Suburban Buildings; Typical Installations of Plumbing Work in New and Old Houses The provision of an ample supply of water and means for the removal of the wastes from all residential, public or business buildings is now universally required. While these requirements are more or less easily met in cities, conditions are different when the buildings are located in suburban or rural districts. Then it may be necessary to install a power plant, even if a simple one, to raise water to the desired levels, and also a plant which will dispose of the organic wastes resulting from the occupancy of the buildings without creating a nuisance or a menace to the health of the occupants or residents in the vicinity. It is the purpose of this book to offer some assistance in designing and installing the various appliances necessary for the supply of water by gravity or mechanical power and for the disposal of sewage and kitchen wastes by the biological process. The maintenance of the appliances in proper repair has also received consideration arid it has been the intention throughout to arrange the subjects treated in a manner which would appeal to the men who are most likely to require assistance, - the plumbers who are called upon to install or repair any of the hundred and one appliances which the requirements of local conditions may entail. It may be taken as an axiom that what is good plumbing in a city is good in a country house or in a building in a provincial town. At the same time, owing to the smaller number of fixtures employed it is quite possible to simplify much of the plumbing work in such buildings while maintaining a perfectly satisfactory quality and perfectly sanitary conditions. In the design of plumbing construction in various types of buildings these conditions have received full consideration and the simplification of the systems of waste and vent lines has been advised wherever possible. The examples selected have been taken from the designs of installations actually made. Much of the material has been prepared from descriptive articles which have appeared in Metal Worker Plumber and Steam Fitter and several have been installed under the personal supervision of the author.
