368 LIGHTING AND SANITARY EQUIPMENT 



Excavate for pipe from cistern to point underneath sink. 

 If a basement is under house, excavate from cistern to wall. 

 The pipe should be placed below frost line. Take measure- 

 ments from the cistern to the sink, determining the exact 

 length of each piece of pipe needed and the necessary fittings. 



345. Connecting Pipe for Pump. Cut and thread 

 pipe as outlined under Sees. 336, 337. In making the various 

 joints, apply a small amount of white lead to the first three 

 threads in fitting or on the pipe. Begin at the pump and 

 screw each fitting and piece of pipe perfectly tight before be-

346. Installing Plumbing in Country Home (Fig. 354) . 

 Requirements: To install rough plumbing, including soil 



pipe, vent pipes and various drains for fixtures in wall 

 partition while house is under construction. (See Fig.

Tools and Materials Needed: Plumbing tools, plumber's fur-

 connections, vent pipes, drains for fixtures and traps. 

 Lead and oakum for joints.

 house with a bath room on each floor. The soil pipe 

 should extend from a point 5' outside the wall, where it 

 connects with the sewer, up thru the house roof. It
