GUTTA PERCHA TUBING.

Amongst the peculiar properties possessed by this Tubing which
render it an article of great value not only to manufacturers, but to
the public generally, are the following :
Lightness, combined with remarkable strength (a N-in, tube
having resisted a pressure of 337 lbs. on the square inch).
Non-affection by the carbonic, acetic, hydrofluoric, or muriatic
acids, or by the most caustic alkalies This remarkable property
renders Gutta Percha so valuable for the conveyance of water, lining
of cisterns, &c., being free from the deleterious effects to health re-
sulting from the use of lead for those purposes.
Peculiar power of resisting frost.
Beadiness by which it can be connected (by means of the Gutta
Percha Union Joints) with the water-tap, or pump, and used for
watering gardens, washing windows, carriages, &c.
Great lengths in which it can be made (50 to 500 feet) without a
joint.

stoppage.
