Device Prevents
Sewer Clogging

Considerable progress has been
made by the plumbing industry In
recent years in finding . solution
for the problem created by the
stoppags Of sewers by tree roots.
A new device which provides =
means Of keeping roots out Of clay
and cement sewer pipes 10 now
available. This consists Of . ring
Of copper placed In the bell Of each
joint
A light film Of poisonous copper
salts 10 formed on the copper rings
by the moisture In the sewer and
by the acids and gases. II 10 said
that tree roots cannot pass
through the poisonous film formed
by these green salts. The health
OF the tree or bush IL not affected.
The rings are nominal In cost
and are made TO ut any standard
size Of clay or cement pipe.
While pipe rings may be utilized
in preventing the spread OF roots
in existing sewers. In new installa-
lions the use Of cast iron pipe viii
offer positive and permanent pro-
lection. Tree roots cannot psne-
trats iron. The pipe joints are
eauiked with lead and thus are
lmpenetrshls.
