The PraBice Part II 



may be the better mended when they happen to be at fault. 

 To the Conduit-Pipe is foldered an upright Pipe, called a 

 Socket, in the Center of the Bafon, which is the Place where 

 the Spout fhould be, and, at the End of this Socket is like- 

 wife foldered the Brafs-Nut, iipon which the Quill is fcrcw- 

 ed. At about two Foot below the Socket, the Pipe fliould 

 be cut off, and ftopt with a Wooden Stopple with an Iron 

 Ferril or with a Brafs Stopple and Screw foldered on there. 

 You may empty the Pipes when there is Filth in them, by 

 taking out thefe Stopples. 



I N Conduit-Pipes, all Elbows, Bendings, and right 

 Angles, fhould be avoided as much as polfible, becaufe they 

 diminilh the Force of the Water : And when they cannot 

 be carried diredly ftreight, but that a Turning muft necef- 

 "farily be, the Elbows fliould be taken a little the farther, to 

 leffen the Quicknefs of them. 



■ I N Conduits that are pretty long. Air-holes, or inverted 

 Suckers, ihould be made at convenient Diftances, to relieve 

 the Pipes, and let the Air out ^ and when, after a quick De- 

 clivity, the Pipes come to lie level again, you muft, in that 

 Place, 'folder on a Cock to refift the Weight of Water, or 

 the Pipe will not laft long. 



Pipes fliould always lie two or three Foot deep iw the 

 Ground, becaufe of the Froft, and for fear of Thieves, and 

 fliould be laid along the Walks, and never in the Woods 

 and Parterres, CJ'c. that you may fooner difcover their Faults, 

 and more eafily come at to mend them, without difplanting 

 any thing. When they run through Terralfcs, you fliould 

 make a little Vault the length of the Pipe, that you -may 

 5/iew it from time to time.
