Put a lead washer inat g and then enter the endd of the valve into the con-nection piece C and bolt upwith three If X i bolts.^^^•2^- Put the two upper bolts t in from the back, and the lower one t in from the front,as shown by the arrows. By doing this, one is able toreplace the valve at any future time, when the bolts arein §12 CAR LIGHTING. 23 LOW-PRESSURE PIPING. 27. Preparing tlie Pipes.—The gas under low pressureis carried from the outlet of regulator up to the roof of the carby the ^ inch piping pp, shown in Fig. 1. The joints of thisloAv-pressui*e piping need not besoldered, but merely made tight withlead paint. A tee and plug are usedfor making the upward turn at a point C about 5 feet above thefloor F, Fig. 20, is placed the maincock, closed in with the cover shownin Fig. 21. This cock should be solocated that its indicator and theletter A are on the right-hand side,as shown in Fig. 9. At the point r,where the pipe passes through theroof, Fig. 20, the pipe should betinned before putting up perma-nently, and then soldered to the tinroof when in place. The connectionbetween the vertical pipe p and the *ig. leading to the main roof-pipe is made b}^ means ofthe tee and plug shown at t. As mentioned in Art. 11, it is sometimes th
