Many new concepts of convenience coupl- ed with a wide range of colors available give great scope to the builder's selection from the stand-point of style and utility ensuring a better product for his customer, But despite these innovations, there are certain qualities a ome should look for when he in the housing market. As 'he basis for all plumbing facili- ties, it is important to have a good drainage system. Possibly the most sertous con- sideration of health and tae best assurance of protection from health hazards is to pro- wide a pressure-tight, long-last- ing plumbing system. SAFE SERVICE Corrosion can eat into the pipes and cause dangerous leaks unless the material is of heavy wall construction such as is. used in case iron soil pipe. Sharp objects such as a mis- placed nail or rough piece of masonry may also puncture the pipe if thin material is used. In the course of a normal day a plumbing system is expected to carry some 200 gallons of waste for an average family; it és most important that the pipes provide continuous, trouble-free service. Cast iron is thoroughly reliable for plumbing vent and drainage purposes both inside your house and from house to street, because it has a proven record of performance and safe operation. Cast iron will safe- guard your family's health as long as...your house remains standing. Careful..attention should be given aiso to the fixtures (bath- tubs, basins) and to the fittings (taps, faucets). Bathtubs for instance, have been tradition- ally manufactured from enam- elied cast iron, Although slight- ly higher ia price, this type ef tub should always be consid- ered when the higher quality product ig desired. Bathtubs manufactured from enamelled steel have made their appear- ance on the market of later years. These tubs are attractive im appearance, light in weight and easy to maintain.

In some cases, the appearance of pias- tic materials in flush tank fii- tings have added greaiiy to the improvement of operation aad reliability over long years of service life. Th selection of a closet combination for a new home should be made by the builder and the home buyer with the assistance of the plumbing contractor giviag careful consideration to the many types and designs of toi- lets now available. Washbasins are now on ta? market in a very broad range of materials, Vitreous china, enamelled cast iron and enam- élled steel have all been used in a variety of designs and sizes to provide a very wide selection for the home builder and home buyer. _Once again vitreous china- ware should be considered as the best quality type of fixture. Enamelled cast iron basins should be regarded as a med- ium quality fixture and suait- able for installation when the fixture would be subject to a great deal of rough use, Enam- elled steel basins, although somewhat limited in the de- sign range, will provide satis- factory service at a fairly low cost. A proper study of the types and designs: of basins will permit a great variety of de- sign treatments in bathroom planning. Kitchen sinks are available in enamelled cast iron, enamelled steel and stainless steel with the latter becoming very lar with bg Me stot ves, For kitchen | this ma- terial is ideal as it will absorb a great deal of abuse without damage, presents an attractive appearance over a long period of time, and is easy to clean.
