Record 4 2003-06-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Sewers and Drainage
CONT

The downspout takes the water from the gutter and down to the drainage pipe or splash block on the ground... If your downspout drains into an underground drain pipe, it is wise to use some kind of stainer in the eavestrough to prevent debris from clogging the underground pipe. If you do not use underground drainage, use a piece of downspout and an elbow to direct the water away from the house and dump onto a splash block.

CONT

Rain and melted snow on the roof are collected by the eavestroughs and channeled to the ground by downspouts. These downspouts are then connected to an extension pipe or splash pad which carries the rainwater away from the house, ensuring that it does not soak into the ground close to your house.

Record 5 1992-12-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Pipes and Fittings
CONT

End to center measurement or center to end mean the same thing. This is possibly the most common measurement taken by persons working at the plumbing trade. The fitting is generally tightened on the pipe first and then the tape placed so that the desired measurement is in the center of the fitting and a mark is then made at the end of the tape. When the pipe is cut on the mark, the result will be a piece of pipe with an elbow or tee on it and cut to a specified center to end measurement.

CONT

Les mesures embout/axe et axe/embout sont identiques; c'est probablement la méthode de mesurage la plus couramment utilisée par les gens de métier. On pose d'abord le raccord sur le tuyau; on place ensuite une extrémité du ruban au centre du raccord, puis on fait une marque sur le tuyau à l'autre extrémité du ruban. Lorsqu'on coupe le tuyau à l'endroit de la marque, on obtient un tronçon avec coude ou té à une extrémité, et coupé selon la méthode axe/embout.
