Care of Fixtures Is Important In Plumbing Yes, you'd think a wonfan rather eccentric if she suggested keeping her sink in a cabinet in the living room. Yet, come to think of it, her sink, bath - tub, lavatory and water closet repre- sent some of the costleist glass and chinaware in the house. : Considered that way, it's a mar- vel how some people continue to neglect these expensive pieces of pottery and glassware, allowing water to drip constantly into them," staining them permanently, when a washer would save this price- less surface from damage. Or banging away cheerfully with pots and pans, neglecting entirely the chemicals in the water will "even: tually break through the enamel surface that protects your prop- erty and cause a stain that you may never remove. But there's a new way to over- come this nuisance. Taps that are absolutely guaranteed dripless [nave been perfected and are now available to you for every basin lor sink in your house. An installa- tion of these new taps will put an end forever to dripping taps or the necessity of replacing wornout washers. Maybe you didn't know it, but the word '"'vitreous" that you've come to associate so naturally with plumbing fixtures means that fact that the surface of a n sink should be given as much care as a sheet of glass. It, too, can crack or splinter. HINTS ON CARE : In an age when we are largely governed by an "economy of | waste" the plumbing industry is one which prides itself on the long wearing qualities of its prod- ucts. To help you to get the long- est and best wear out of your plumbing equipment, here are a few hints on their care and main- tenance. When you move into" a new home, protect the health of your family by cleaning and disinfect- ing all plumbing fixtures. Pay par- ticular attention to the traps. See that they are well flushed out and leave disinfectant in them over night if possible. : When new fixtures are installed, they will have manufacturers' la- bels on them. Don't scrape them off. This may easily scratch the surface, damaging them even be- fore they have been put to use. The labels will come off quite eas- ily if soaked with hot water. Learn to hate a dripping faucet, Not only does it go *"bloop bloop" so you can't sleep, it causes much more damage than that.

Yes, as a zeneral rule, the surface of your bathtubs, sinks, lavatories hard and heavy treatment with pots and pans, basins or pails, may chip or crack the enamel. You wouldn't bang your teeth with a hammer, would vou? And you might well apply the famous dental adage "See your dentist at least twice a year" to your plumbing also. A periodical check-up by a qualified plumber xi often forestall a big repair When painting in kitchen or bath- room, cover the fixtures. If paint does. accidentally drip on them, re- move it before #t dries, otherwise the methods you may have to use may damage the surface irrepar- ably. Watch for brass showing through on plated fittings. Have them re- plated at once or, if they are well worn, replace them with new. And always remember. When you do replace either fixtures or fittings with new ones, it pays to choose the best. It costs, after all, just as much for labor to instal a and water - closets is protected by. a thin layer of vitreous, or "glazed" enamel. PROTECTIVE COATING Plumbing fixtures, in t his re- spect, have much in common with teeth. Both aresprotected by a lay- er of strong enamel that is built to withstand the onslaught of all kinds of enemies, from boiling hot water to powerful acids. But once break the surface of the enamel, and the protection is gone. As with your teeth, so with your vitreous plumbing ware. Avoid harsh abrasives when cleaning them, or you may scratch that precious surface. Remember that MORTGAGE LOANS AVAILABLE ANNIS, JONES & CAMERON 18%2 KING ST.
