Modern plumbing illustrated; a comprehensive and thoroughly practical work on the modern and most approved methods of plumbing construction .. . ding the lavatory, a very small amount of marblenow being used for lavatory work, as compared with its use a fewyears ago. The porcelain-lined bath so generally used in bath roomswell appointed, but not of the most expensive type, is generallypainted some dull color, leaving it to be finished and decorated inthe prevailing style of the room. For the bath room, nothing neater can be devised than purewhite, and, if decoration is desired, a narrow gilt band may be used. Tiling is used extensively in up-to-date bath-room work, includ-ing floor, walls, and ceiling. When the tiling does not cover the entire interior of the room,it is generally carried up on the walls to a distance of four to sixfeet from the floor, and capped with a half round or O. G. molding. A very neat innovation in bath tubs is the porcelain or porcelain-lined tub, sheathed on its exposed sides with tiling to conform to theprevailing style of the room. Plate XXI BATH ROOMS Bath FfQom P/a/e 2/. <Sjs) e. ciolVei&f. BATH ROOMS The bath-room connections shown in Figs. E and F, Plate 21,are designed to show the use of various special waste and vent fit-tings, which are possibly more useful in bath-room work than onany other part of the plumbing system. The water-closet waste fitting of Fig. F is along the same lineas the vented T-Y of Fig. C, Plate 20, but is a better fitting for bath-room work, inasmuch as the branch is taken spirally into the sideof the fitting, allowing the fixture to set closer to the wall. Thewater closet should set as close to the wall as practicable, as it isless in the way, and less liable to damage. The water closet is vented from a hub on the waste fitting. The waste fitting of the water closet of Fig. E is of similar pat-tern, with a special hub for receiving the waste of other work of Fig. E is almost entirely of iron
