NO FROZEN WATER PIPES. 



A system which was recently adopted 

 at the Bell Mawr Greenhouses, at Mount 

 Ephraira, N. J., to protect the water 

 pipes from frost, was found to be one 

 of the best plans for this purpose. 



A home-made trap valve is first placed 

 in the bottom of the tank, over the flush 

 pipe. The valve is made as follows: A 

 thick piece of rubber, about 4x6 inches, 

 is fastened to a block about 4x4 inches 

 and about two inches thick. This block 

 serves two purposes — to keep the rubber 

 flat and also to act as a weight. The 

 2 -inch margin of the rubber, which is not 

 covered by the block, acts as the hinge, 

 and is fastened to the bottom of the 

 tank. This valve is operated by a rope 

 which extends from the block to the top 

 of the tank, over a pulley, and then down 

 to the bottom of the trestle. When the 

 rope is pulled it opens the valve, and 

 when the rope is left loose the valve 

 closes, as the water acts as the weight and 

 the more water in the tank the tighter it 

 closes. Remember, a small chain is to be 

 fastened to the block and to the floor of 

 the tank, so that the valve can open only 

 about two inches. 



In the boiler-pit a spigot is placed on 

 the water pipes, at the lowest point on 

 the grounds. At night, after the valve 

 is closed in the tank, this spigot is opened 

 and all water is drained out, which makes 

 it impossible for any water to freeze in 

 the pipes. E. W. Hankele.
