PART III.
SOIL AND DRAIN PIPES.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS.
The material for our pipes naturally f oi-ms the first subject for consideration, inasmuch as upon it their proportion, treatment, and arrangement in a great measure depend.
By far the most suitable material yet discovered for soil and house drain-pipes is iron, and the most important matter connected with its use is the for- mation of the joints between the separate pieces.
Lead has been almost entirely abandoned in this country for soil
...and drain pipes, on account of its want of strength and rigidity, its comparative high cost, its liability to be perforated by vermin, nails, or corrosion, and of the greater time and labor required to make the joints. Large lead pipes often sag of their own weight and tear away at their points of support. The action of alternating hot and cold water also produces a destructive effect upon the material. In England lead soil-pipes are still used, but it is not customary to use the soil- pipe for the conveyance of all kinds of waste, and hot water from lavatories and sinks is carried into separate pipes, so that the material as used abroad is less objectionable.
