How To Distribute The Water In Your New Log Cabin
By Jack Hudson, Fri Dec 9th
How to distribute the water in your new log cabin In previous articles, I have told you how to get water. I leftyou pumping water into a pressure tank. The next problem is toget this water to the various fixtures. Before I tried to runany pipe, I'd be sure that the fixtures were in place. Thisincludes the hot-water heater. By the way, there are many waysyou can heat the water, including a coal range, oil heater, gasheater, electric heater--and I've even seen a fireplace used toheat water. Because of size and ease of connection, I would suggest a smallelectric water heater. This is small enough to fit under a sink,in a closet, or even under the cottage. The small units use 120volts and therefore require no special wiring.
I have mentioned polyethylene pipe for the cold-water lines fromyour water source to the pump. This type of pipe can also beused for the cold-water supply in your house. It is light andeasy to handle and requires a minimum number of fittings,because it is so flexible. Soft copper is another type of pipe that is flexible. It has onedrawback, however. It is easy to dent or crimp the tubing. Let'sstart with the cold-water piping. From the pump run a %-inchpipe to the hot-water heater. In this line insert a¾-by-¾-by-½-inch T. To the ½-inch nipple ... article continues below the ad.

of the T run a pipe tothe various fixtures that require a cold-water outlet.Because there are a number of fixtures running off from the mainline, it will be necessary to use a number of T's in order toaccomplish this. The illustration shows how this is done. Thehot-water system is similar to the cold-water, except that youwill want to use copper, brass, or steel piping. The process isthe same. One word of caution: Be sure that all the pipes are tilted fordrainage and that there is a good way of getting the water outof the system. A couple of drain cocks are usually placed at lowpoints in the piping. The water is usually allowed to run outonto the ground. With no heat in the wintertime, you will wantto be sure that no water stands in the pipes. The tripod or three-legged stand is used to hold lengths of pipewhen it is being driven into the earth. The drive assemblyconsists of a number of parts, including a nipple, coupling, andmalleable iron drive cap. These parts are screwed to the end ofthe pointed piece that goes into the earth as you drive a well. When the drive cap is added, you can drive the pointed end ofthe pipe into the ground with a maul. A maul is a heavy hammer.Large mauls used to drive pipe usually are made with a hardwoodhead. A pipe or Stillson wrench is a large tool with adjustablehead that can be used to hold pipe. A yarning tool is a rod with a flattened end used to push leador other soft materials into a joint of pipe. A threader is usedto make ends on pipe so that couplers may be screwed on. Thesehave dies which come in various sizes from ¼ to 2 inches or morein diameter. Tubing cutters have a small wheel that cuts softpipe. Each time you revolve the clamplike tool around the pipe,the handle is given another twist downward. This actioneventually cuts the pipe. A plumbers' furnace is a type of gasoline stove with a meltingpot for lead at the top. Ladles are spoonlike dippers used toremove lead from the plumbers' furnace to the joint that isbeing packed. Blow torches usually use gasoline for fuel. Besure to keep the flame of this tool away from any combustiblematerial. A holder consists of two boards connected together with bolts.It is used to hold lengths of pipe when lowering pipe into awell. A reamer is used to clean out the inside end of a pipethat has been cut. It is tapered and has a series of flutes. Flaring tools are used to force the end of copper pipe outward.They consist of a holder with various sizes of holes for pipe. Ametal rod is inserted in the end of the tubing that is held bythe holder, and hit lightly with a hammer to force the edgesoutward. Hack saws are thin-bladed saws used to cut pipe. In using thehack saw, hold it at a 90-degree angle to the pipe. Do not sawtoo fast. Use the reamer after making the cut. The earth augeris a shovel-type tool used to make a circular hole in the earth.
