How to Stop Woter-Pipe Knocking

faucet. which has been running
wide open.
There are two methods Of cur
ing this trouble. One consists
of installing an anti-knock coil.
This device is simply a coil of
copper tubing inserted at some
point in the water line and de-
signed so that the water in the
coil acts as a cushion to take up
the blow.
The second method of curing
the trouble is more of a home
made idea, and has been used
by plumbers for years before the
anti-knock coil was invented.
This scheme consists of substi-
tuting a tee fitting where the
pipe makes a turn, in place of
the elbow fitting.

idea to install these pressure

The average householder is
familiar with the irritating noise
in water pipes-usually referred
to as "hammering." Actually,
the technical name for the nui-
sance is water hammer"
The cause is one of two things
either there is a loose washer
in one of the faucets which vi
brates and sets up the hammer
ing, or the pipe system has too
many abrupt turns.
It is easy to understand that
volume of water under 10
pounds pressure, which is rush
ing through a pipe, will slam up
against the back of an elbow
when the pressure is suddenly
cut off.
That is exactly what happens
when you shut off a valve, or

 The vehicle registration Cor plate license) must be in the ve- hicle at all times. Motorist who are stopped and can not produce the registration will have to find some other means of getting to their destination, they said. All ve- hicles not carrying the registra- ton will be impounded.
 This is for the protection of the owner" they said. If the registration is carried in one mem- Der of the family's pocket, there is no proof for any other member who may be using the vehicle" " The title should not be kept in the car but in some safe place with other important papers, they emphasized.
