The Districtof Columbia,home of the Nation's captol, recognizes the advantages of concrete pressurepipe. From 1925 over 175,000 feet to thepresent, of concretepressurepipe have been installed in this congested 69 square mile area. Pipe diametersrangefrom 20" to 78",with heads from70 up to 450 feet.A substantialpart of this footage is in use in theWashington, D. C. distribution system. Washington engineers consider economy arid length of
serviceof primary importance waterpipe . . . whenspecifying and also,high carrying capacity,

ease of installation. Because concrete pressure pipe meets these and other exacting reit has been selected quirements, time and again fornew supply mains and extensions to the distribution lines. If your communityis planning additional water lines, or replacements for old lines, check into the advantages of concrete pressure pipe. It is available in diametersfrom12" to over 12',for highor low heads, and can be installed to fityour individual requirements.

CHECK VALVES ^5 Non-Slam Quiet Clearway Closing |

Heavy slams can cause damages of explosive proportions. Modest slams may throw piping out of alignment and cause serious leakages. The Rensselaer non-slamming check valve illustrated is low cost permanent insurance against slamming. It is a clearway valve with the gate normally completely out of the line of flow. Head losses are low. As the velocity at the pump discharge decreases on pump shut down, the lever arm and adjustable spring force the gate toward its seat. At the instantof zero velocity,the gate is on its seat and slamming has been entirely eliminated. Rensselaer non-slamming check valves are made in sizes up to 30 by 30 inches. Standard check valves up to 60 inches for locations where slamming is not anticipated. High pressure valves up to 400 lbs. W.P. and 24".
