No Inlets To Drains Within Buildings

9. A person who shall erect a new building shall not construct any drain of such building communicating with a sewer in such a manner that there shall be within such building any inlet to such drain except such inlet as may be necessary from the apparatus of any water-closet, slop-sink or urinal.

Waste-pipes,

10. A person who shall erect a new building shall cause every pipe in such building for carrying off waste water from every lavatory or sink (not being a slop-sink or urinal constructed or adapted to be used for receiving any solid or liquid excremental filth) to a sewer, to be constructed of lead, iron or stoneware, and to be trapped immediately beneath such lavatory or sink by an efficient syphon trap, which shall be constructed of lead, iron or stoneware, with adequate means for inspection and cleansing, and which shall be ventilated into the external air whenever such ventilation may be necessary to preserve the seal of such trap.

He shall not construct or fix in or in connection with such waste-pipe, lavatory, or sink, any trap of the kind known as a bell-trap, a dip-trap, or a D-trap.

He shall cause every pipe in such building for carrying off waste-water to a sewer to be taken through an external wall of such building, and to discharge in the open air over a properly-trapped gully or into such a gully above the level of the water in the trap thereof, or over a channel leading to such a gully.

Soil-Pipes

11. Any person who shall provide a soil-pipe in connection with a new building for the purpose of conveying to a sewer any solid or liquid excremental filth or shall for that purpose construct a soil-pipe in connection with an existing building, shall, whenever practicable, cause such soil-pipe to be situated outside such building, and shall construct such soil-pipe in drawn lead or of heavy cast-iron. Provided that in any case where it shall be necessary to construct such soil-pipe within such building, he shall construct such soil-pipe in drawn lead with proper wiped plumbers' joints, and so as to be easily accessible.

He shall construct such soil-pipe, whether inside or outside the building, so that its weight, if the pipe be of lead, and its thickness and weight, if the pipe be of iron, in proportion to its length and internal diameter, shall be-

If he shall construct such soil-pipe of cast-iron with socket joints, he shall cause such joints to be not less than 2 1/2 inches in depth and to be made with molten lead properly caulked, and he shall also cause the annular space for the lead, in the case of 3 1/2-inch and 4-inch pipes, to be not less than 1/4-inch in width, and, in the case of 5-inch and 6-inch pipes, to be not less than 3/8-inch in width. If he shall construct such soil-pipe with flange joints he shall cause such joints to be securely bolted together with some suitable insertion.

He shall construct such soil-pipe, whether inside or outside the building, so that it shall not be connected with any rain-water pipe or with the waste of any bath, or of any sink other than that which is provided for the reception of urine or other excremental filth, and he shall construct such soil-pipe so that there shall not be any trap in such soil-pipe or between the soil-pipe and any drain with which it is connected.

He shall cause such soil-pipe, whether inside or outside the building, to be circular and to have an internal diameter of not less than 3 1/2 inches, and to be continued upwards without diminution of its. diameter, and (except where unavoidable) without any bend or angle being formed in such soil-pipe, to such a height and in such a position as to afford by means of the open end of such soil-pipe a safe outlet for foul air.

Connection Of Lead Soil-Pipe, Etc With Iron Drain, Etc

12. Any person who shall connect a lead soil-pipe, waste-pipe, ventilating-pipe, or trap with an iron pipe or drain communicating with a sewer, shall insert between such lead soil pipe, waste-pipe, ventilating-pipe, or trap, and such iron pipe or drain, a flanged thimble of copper, brass, or other suitable alloy, and shall connect such lead soil-pipe, waste-pipe, ventilating-pipe, or trap with such thimble by means or a wiped or overcast metallic joint, and shall connect such thimble with such iron pipe or drain by means of a joint made with molten lead, properly caulked; provided always that it shall be sufficient if he shall connect the lead soil-pipe, waste-pipe, ventilating-pipe, or trap with the iron pipe or drain in an equally suitable and efficient manner.

Connection Of Stoneware Trap Of Closet, Etc, With Lead Soil-Pipe, Etc

13. Any person who shall connect a stoneware or semi-vitrified ware trap or pipe with a lead soil-pipe, waste-pipe or trap communicating with a sewer, shall insert between such stoneware or semi-vitrified ware trap or pipe and such lead soil-pipe, waste-pipe or trap, a socket of copper, brass, or other suitable alloy, and shall insert such stoneware or semi-vitrified ware trap or pipe into such socket, making the joint with Portland cement, and shall connect such socket with the lead soil-pipe, waste-pipe or trap, by means of a wiped or overcast metallic joint; provided always that it shall be sufficient if he shall connect the stoneware or semi-vitrified ware trap or pipe with the lead soil-pipe, waste-pipe or trap, in an equally suitable and efficient manner.

Connection Of Lead Soil-Pipe, Etc, With Stoneware Drain, Etc

14. Any person who shall connect a lead soil-pipe, waste-pipe, ventilating-pipe, or trap with a stoneware or semi-vitrified ware pipe or drain communicating with a sewer, shall insert between such lead soil-pipe, waste-pipe, ventilating-pipe, or trap and such stoneware or semi-vitrified ware pipe or drain, a flanged thimble of copper, brass, or other suitable alloy and shall connect such lead soil-pipe, waste-pipe, ventilating-pipe, or trap with such thimble by means of a wiped or overcast metallic joint, and shall insert the flanged end of such thimble into a socket on such stoneware or semi-vitrified ware pipe or drain, making the joint with Portland cement; provided always that it shall be sufficient if he shall connect the lead soil-pipe, waste-pipe, ventilating-pipe or trap with the stoneware or semi-vitrified ware pipe or drain in an equally suitable and efficient manner.
