This drain should have aregular fall or inclination and this elbow provides for shows the ram water leader (conductor). E and F is a soil pipe 3, 4, 5, or 6 inches in diameter. Note,pipes draining water closets are called soil pipes; thosedraining other fixtures waste pipes. X and 0 representwater-closet flanges; F and H are roof connections; L exhibitsdouble and single Y branches to receive waste-pipes frombaths, bowls, or sinks. The plumber makes this connection,always trapping the lead waste-pipe and then soldering it to abrass nipple. LEAD PIPE Fig 160. It has been remarked that after learning how to make awipe joint, everything is easy relating to the plumbers trade;hence, the importance of the following directions. To learn the art, previous practice with short pieces of pipeis recommended. This trial piece can be clamjied as shown inFig. 160 and used over and over until practice has been had. There are many names for the process of load joint-making,such as the flow-joint, the ribbon joint, the blown joint, theastragal joint, etc., to express the different positions and uses Maxims ajid /jtsiructions, joi LEAD PIPE JOINTS,for whicli they are needed, but in tlie main they are made asfollows : 1. The lead pipe to be joined is sawn stiuare off with theproper toothed saw—attention being paid to mating the endabsolutely true, across the pipe. 2. One end of the pipe to be joined is first opened by driving;n
