LEADING WATER IN PIPES. 



J. B., Boston, writes: "I have biickcil 

 up a fine spring at my country place, and 

 wish to draw the water down to my 

 house, eighty-two feet below, over a 

 rough hillside, and a distance of 2,500 

 feet from spring to house. I have been 

 advised to use say Hi inch pipe, starting 

 from the spring, and use smaller sizes as 

 I descend, ending with % or V2 inch. In 

 this way the friction is supposed to be 

 reduced. With eighty-two feet head of 

 water and with water comparatively 

 free from sediment, should you think it 

 necessary to resort to large size pipe in 

 order to get a good flow through a % or 

 'a inch at the house. I propose to use 

 galvanized iron pipe." 



Start the line with I'l-inch pipe, using 

 that size for one-third the distance, then 

 use li/i-inch pipe for the next third of the 

 way, and 1-inch pipe for the balance until 

 near the house or point of di>tribution, 

 all pipe to be of galvanized iron. But if 

 a stalsle or garden is to have a water 

 supply from this same pipe. u>;e li'2-inch 

 pipe forone-halfthedistance.and II4 inch 

 for the balance of the wav to point of 

 distribiftion. Thi-s would overcome the 

 IrictioriTind alio v for inlcrnal corrosion, 

 which is bound to occur.
