COUNTRY PLUMBING The subject of country plumbing differs in many respects fromthe plumbing of cities and towns. The difference arises principallybecause of the fact that usually the plumbing system installed in thecountry cannot enter a system of public sewers, and a water supplycannot be secured from any public system of supply.

Modern plumbing illustrated : a comprehensive and thoroughly practical work on the modern and most approved methods of plumbing construction ... . COUNTRY PLUMBING The subject of country plumbing differs in many respects fromthe plumbing of cities and towns. The difference arises principallybecause of the fact that usually the plumbing system installed in thecountry cannot enter a system of public sewers, and a water supplycannot be secured from any public system of supply. These condi-tions make it necessary to study each individual plumbing system,and to provide for it as conditions require. Another feature that also influences the installation of the plumb-ing system, is the absence of any regulation or inspection of plumbing-work. As a consequence, many houses in the country, of ordinarystyle, are provided with an unvented plumbing system. This, how-ever, in many cases need not be a serious matter, as on small systemsspecial provision may often be made for making the work as safe asis possible to make it when the traps are not vented.
