HOUSE WIRING
INTRODUCTION
Electrical wiring is defined as a system of electrical conductor, components and apparatus,
for conveying electric power from the source to the point of use. Electrical power is supplied
to domestic installation through a phase and a neutral forming a single phase A.C. 230V, two
wire system. For industrial establishment, power is supplied through 3-phase wire system to
give 440v. The figure below shows the power tapping for domestic and industrial purpose.
The neutral is earthed at the distribution sub-station of the supply.

Elements of house wiring:

1.Fuses and Circuit Breakers: These are devices designed to provide protection to a
circuit against excess current.
2. Electric Switch: This is a device that makes and breaks or changes the course
of electric circuit.
3. Plug: It is a device carrying two or more metallic contacts in the form of pins intended
for engaging with the corresponding socket contacts.
4. Socket outlet: It is a device carrying 2or 3 contacts designed for engagement with
corresponding plug pins and arranged for connection to fixed wiring.
5. Lamp Holder: It is designed to hold lamps and connect them in the circuit.
6. Main switch: This is a switch intended to connect or cut off the supply of electricity to
the whole of installation. It contains one or more fuses.

Wiring methods

A circuit is a path along which the electric current flows the negative side of the power
source to the positive side. There are three types of electrical circuits that are used for
connecting devices or controls to the power source i.e. series circuit, parallel circuit and
combination of the two.

The series circuit provides a single, continuous path through which current flows. The
devices are connected one after another and the current flows through them until it returns to
the power source. In parallel circuit the devices are connected side by side so that, current
flows in a number of parallel paths.

SHEET METAL WORKING

INTRODUCTION

The metal plank having less than 2mm thick is called sheet metal. Sheet metal work deals
with the production of components in wide variety of shapes and sizes with the aid of tools or
machines.

Some of the important metals used in sheet metal work are described below.

Galvanized Iron: It is a sheet of soft steel, which is coated with zinc. Zinc resists corrosion
and improves the appearance of the metal galvanized iron in one of the least expensive metals
and is used for making pans, buckets, ducts, gutters, tanks, boxes, etc.

Black Iron: It is an uncoated sheet of metal with bluish- back appearance. It corrodes rapidly
is not expensively due to difficulties of soldering the block iron sheet are used for parts that
are to be painted.

Tin plate: Tin plate is an iron or steel coated with pure iron. It has very bright silver
appearance and is used for food containers, cans, pans.

Stainless steels: It is an alloy steel possessing corrosion resistance. General type stainless
steel contains 18 percent chromium and 8 percent nickel. This steel is commonly known as
18-8 stainless steel. These are available various sizes and thickness. It is widely used for food
containers, dairy equipment.

Copper: It has reddish color and possesses good malleability, ductility and resistance to
atmospheric corrosion.

Aluminum: Sheet aluminum is never pure aluminum and it is always allowed with small
quantities of copper silicon, magnesium, and iron.

Tools and Equipment used in Sheet Metal

The common hand tools used in sheet metal work are steel rule, wire gauge, dot punch,
trammels, scriber, ball peen hammer, straight –peen hammer, cross peen hammer, Nylon
Mallets Hammer, Snips and Soldering Iron etc.

Snips: Hand shear or snips are used to cut sheet metal. Although there are many types, the
sheet metal works generally use straight snips and curved snips.

Straight Snips: Straight snips have straight blades and are used for cutting along the straight
lines and for trimming edges.
Curved Snips / Bent Snip: Curved snips has a curved blade and used for cutting circles and
irregular shapes.

Bench shears: Bench shear is used for cutting thick sheets. The lower fixed blade is firmly
secured by bracket at bottom. The movable blade is pivoted at the rear end; the hand
operating lever is attached to the front end of movable blade link mechanism.

Stakes: Stakes are made of steel and forged in a variety of shapes and sizes. Its working face
is machined and polished to facilitate various operations such as bending, seaming or
forming.

The following types of stakes are mostly used.

a. Double seaming: These stakes has two horns and it is used to make double seam for
vessels.
b. Blow horn: These stakes have two horn tapering norms and it is used to forming or
seaming funnels.
c. Break horn: These stakes have a square tapered horn on one side and a round tapered
horn on opposite side. It is used for shaping round and square surfaces, bending edges, and
making corners.
d. Conductor stake: These stakes has two cylindrical horns having different diameters. It is
used for forming pipes and cylindrical pieces.
e. Funnel stake: It is used for forming conical shapes and for making wire rings.
f. Hatchet stake: It has a horizontal sharp straight edge and can be used for making straight
sharp bends and for folding and bending edges.
g. Square Stake: It has a square straight edge and can be used for folding and bending of the
sheet edges and for making right angle bends.
h. Wire gauge: The thickness of sheet metal is referred in number known as standard wire
gauge. The gaps in the circumference of the gauge are used to check the gauge number as
shown in figure.

i. Sheet Metal Joints: Various types of joints are used in sheet metal work to suit the
varying requirements. Some commonly used sheet metal joints and folded edges are
shown below. These are self secured joints, formed by joining together 2 pieces of sheet
metal and using the metal itself to form the joint.
j. Hand Hammers and Mallets: The sheet metal worker uses a wide variety of hammers
and mallet by forming shapes by different operations. The most commonly used hammers
are follows.
k. Straight-Peen Hammer: It has a peen end similar to its bottom size round shape and its
top side is straight point. Square, slightly curved face and its peen is tapered, it is used for
riveting.
l. Cross Peen Hammer: It has a square flat face and it is tapered on one side. It is used for
setting down the edges for making a double seam.
m. Mallet: Mallet is generally made of wood and Nylon. It is used whenever slight blows are
required. Wooden and Nylon mallets don’t damage the surface.

SMITHY
INTRODUCTION

Smithy is one of the oldest metal working processes. It is defined as the shaping of a heated
metal by hammering and pressing .In forging; metals are made plastic by heating them and
deformed by hammering, while they are hot. This process is usually carried at above the
recrystallisation temperature. Therefore it is regarded as hot working. It is also called as
Black Smithy.
Forge or Hearth: - The forge or hearth is needed for heating metals. In this forges, metals
are heated to plastic state for hammering them into desired shape.

Smithy Forge

Anvil: The anvil is used for supporting the work while hammering they are made in different
forms to provide the means for other forging operations. The usual form of anvil used in hand
forging weighs up to 25 to 250 kgs. It has a round hole for bending rods and a square hole for
holding square shanks of various tools such as
swages, fullers etc. The body is made of mild
steel and a strip of high carbon steel about20
mm thick is welded to its to provide hard face.
Beak is used for bending metal to round shapes.

Swage block: -The swage block is generally made of cast iron or cast steel. It has grooves on
faces and holes in the body. It is used as a support while forming different shapes and
punching holes. It can also be used for finishing round, square and hexagonal forms.

Swage block Sledgehammer

Sledgehammer: - The sledgehammers are heavy hammers used by smith helper. The
various forms of sledgehammers weigh 3 to 8 kgs. The sledgehammer is specified by its
weight.

Chisel: -The chisel are used for cutting steels and for nicking prior to breaking.

Hot chisel: - The hot chisel is used for cutting the metal when hot. The angle of cutting edges
is about 30.

Cold chisel:-The cold chisel is used for cutting cold material .The angle of cutting edge is
about 60.

Swages:-Swages are used for reducing and finishing the round square or hexagonal shapes.
The top swage is provided with handle and the bottom swage with square shank, which is
held in hardie hole.

Fuller: -Fullers are used in pairs for necking or growing operations. These are made in
various shape and sizes. The bottom fuller has square shank to fit in the hardie hole and top
one is provided with handle

Flatters: -Flatters are used to obtain and smooth and finished flat surfaces. These are made of
tool steel with flat faces

Tongs:-The metal to be forged must be held securely, while it is being shaped. A pair of
tongs of suitable size and shape must be used for the purpose. They are made of mild steel
and sizes vary from 40cmto 60cm in length and 6mm to 55mm opening.

WELDING
INTRODUCTION

Welding is a process for joining two similar or dissimilar metals by fusion. It joins different
metals/alloys, with or without the application of pressure and with or without the use of filler
metal. The fusion of metal takes place by means of heat. The heat may be generated either
from combustion of gases, electric arc, electric resistance or by chemical reaction.

Welding provides a permanent joint but it normally affects the metallurgy of the components.
It is therefore usually accompanied by post weld heat treatment for most of the critical
components. The welding is widely used as a fabrication and repairing process in industries.
Some of the typical applications of welding include the fabrication of ships, pressure vessels,
automobile bodies, off-shore platform, bridges, welded pipes, sealing of nuclear fuel and
explosives, etc.

BE 1st YEAR, I / II SEMESTER, WORKSHOP / MANUFACTURING PROCESS LAB Page 67


Methodist College of Engineering & Technology
Department of Mechanical Engineering

Most of the metals and alloys can be welded


by one type of welding process or the other.
However, some are easier to we
weld than
others. To compare this ease in welding term
‘weldability’ is often used. The weldability
may be defined as property of a metal which
indicates the ease with which it can be
welded with other similar or dissimilar
metals.

Edge preparations

For welding the edges of joining surfaces of metals are prepared first. Different edge
reparations may be used for welding butt joints, which are given in Figure.

Welding joints

Some common welding joints are shown in Figure. Welding joints are of generally of two
major kinds namely lap joint and butt joint. The main types are described as under

1. Lap Weld Joint

Single-Lap Joint

This joint, made by overlapping the edges


of the plate, is not recommended for most
work. The single lap has very little
resistance to bending. It can be used
satisfactorily for joining two cylinders
that fit inside one another.

Double-Lap Joint

This is stronger than the single-lap


single joint
but has the disadvantage that it requires
twice as much welding.

Tee Fillet Weld

BE 1st YEAR, I / II SEMESTER, WORKSHOP / MANUFACTURING PROCESS LAB Page 68


Methodist College of Engineering & Technology
Department of Mechanical Engineering

This type of joint, although widely used, should not be employed if an alternative design is
possible.

2. Butt weld joint:

Single V- Butt Weld:

It is used for plates up to 15.8 mm thick. The angle of the vee depends upon the technique
being used, the plates being spaced approximately 3.2 mm.

Double V- Butt Weld:


It is used for plates over 13 mm thick when the welding can be performed on both sides
of the plate. The top vee angle is either 60° or 80°, while the bottom angle is 80°,
depending on the technique being used.

Welding Positions

As shown in the below Fig., there are four types of welding positions, which are given as:

a. Flat or down hand position


b. Horizontal position
c. Vertical position
d. Overhead position

Flat or Down-hand Welding Position

The flat position or down hand position is one in which the welding is performed from the
upper side of the joint and the face of the weld is approximately horizontal.

Horizontal Welding Position

In horizontal position, the plane of the workpiece is vertical and the deposited weld head is
horizontal. This position of welding is most commonly used in welding vessels and
reservoirs.

BE 1st YEAR, I / II SEMESTER, WORKSHOP / MANUFACTURING PROCESS LAB Page 69


Methodist College of Engineering & Technology
Department of Mechanical Engineering

Vertical Welding Position

In vertical position, the plane of the work-piece is vertical and the weld is deposited upon a
vertical surface. It is difficult to produce satisfactory welds in this position due to the effect
of the force of gravity on the molten metal.

Overhead Welding Position

The overhead position is probably even more difficult to weld than the vertical position. Here
the pull of gravity against the molten metal is much greater.

ARC WELDING PROCESSES

The process, in which an electric arc between an electrode and a work-piece or between two
electrodes is utilized to weld base metals, is called an arc welding process. The basic
principle of arc welding is shown in Figure. However the basic elements involved in arc
welding process are shown in the figure.

Most of these processes use some shielding gas while others employ coatings or fluxes to
prevent the weld pool from the surrounding atmosphere.

Arc Welding Equipment

Arc welding equipment, setup and related tools and accessories are shown in Figure.
However some common tools of arc welding are shown separately through Figure. Few of
the important components of arc welding setup are described as under.

1. Arc welding power source

Both direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) are used for electric arc welding, each
having its particular applications. DC welding supply is usually obtained from generators
driven by electric motor or if no electricity is available by internal combustion engines. For
AC welding supply, transformers are predominantly used for almost all Arc-welding where

BE 1st YEAR, I / II SEMESTER, WORKSHOP / MANUFACTURING PROCESS LAB Page 70


Methodist College of Engineering & Technology
Department of Mechanical Engineering

mains electricity supply is available. They have to step down the usual supply voltage (200-
400 volts) to the normal open circuit welding voltage (50
(50-90
90 volts). The following factors
influence the selection of a power source:

a. Type of electrodes to be used and metals to be welded


b. Available power source (AC or DC)
c. Required output
d. Duty cycle
e. Efficiency
f. Initial costs and running costs
g. Available floor space
h. Versatility of equipment

2. Welding cables

Welding cables are required for conduction of current from the power source through the
electrode holder, the arc, the work piece and back to the welding power source. These are
insulated copper or Aluminum
luminum cables.

3. Electrode holder

Electrode holder is used for holding the electrode


manually and conducting current to it. These are
usually matched to the size of the lead, which in turn
matched to the amperage output of the arc welder.
Electrode holders are available in sizes that range from
150 to 500 Amps.

4. Welding Electrodes

An electrode is a piece of wire or a rod of a metal or alloy, with or without coatings. An arc is
set up between electrode and workpiece. Welding electrodes are classified into following
types.

Consumable Electrode

1. Bare Electrode
2. Coated Electrode

BE 1st YEAR, I / II SEMESTER, WORKSHOP / MANUFACTURING PROCESS LAB Page 71


Methodist College of Engineering & Technology
Department of Mechanical Engineering

Non-Consumable Electrode

1. Carbon or Graphite Electrodes


2. Tungsten Electrode

Consumable electrode is made of different metals and their alloys. The end of this electrode
starts melting when arc is struck between the electrode and work piece. Thus consumable
electrode itself acts as a filler metal. Bare electrodes consist of a metal or alloy wire without
any flux coating on them. Coated electrodes have flux coating which starts melting as soon as
an electric arc is struck. This coating on melting performs many functions like prevention of
joint from atmospheric contamination, arc stabilizers etc.

Non-consumable electrodes are made up of high melting point materials like carbon, pure
tungsten or alloy tungsten etc. These electrodes do not melt away during welding. But
practically, the electrode length goes on decreasing with the passage of time, because of
oxidation and vaporization of the electrode material during welding. The materials of non-
consumable electrodes are usually copper coated carbon or graphite, pure tungsten, thoriated
or zirconiated tungsten.

5. Hand Screen
Hand screen used for protection of eyes and supervision of weld bead.
6. Chipping hammer
Chipping Hammer is used to remove the slag by striking.
7. Wire brush
Wire brush is used to clean the surface to be weld.
8. Protective Clothing
Operator wears the protective clothing such as apron to keep away the exposure of direct
heat to the body.

Safety Recommendations for ARC Welding

The beginner in the field of arc welding must go through and become familiar with these
general safety recommendations which are given as under.

1. The body or the frame of the welding machine shall be efficiently earthed. Pipe lines
containing gases or inflammable liquids or conduits carrying electrical conductors
shall not be used for a ground return circuit All earth connections shall be
mechanically strong and electrically adequate for the required current.
2. Welding arc in addition to being very is a source of infra-red and ultra-violet light
also; consequently the operator must use either helmet or a hand-shield fitted with a
special filter glass to protect eyes
3. Excess ultra-violet light can cause an effect similar to sunburn on the skin of the
welder
4. The welder’s body and clothing are protected from radiation and burns
caused by sparks and flying globules of molten metal with the help of the
following:
5. Gloves protect the hands of a welder.
6. Leather or asbestos apron is very useful to protect welder’s clothes and his
trunk and thighs while seated he is doing welding.
7. For overhead welding, some form of protection for the head is required
8. Leather skull cap or peaked cap will do the needful.
9. Leather jackets and 1ather leggings are also available as clothes for body protection.
10. Welding equipment shall be inspected periodically and maintained in safe working
order at all times.
11. Arc welding machines should be of suitable quality.
12. All parts of welding set shall be suitably enclosed and protected to meet the usual
service conditions.

PLUMBING
INTRODUCTION

Plumbing is a skilled trade of working with pipes or tubes and plumbing fixtures. The
process is mainly used for the supply of drinking water and the drainage of waste water,
sometimes mixed with waste floating materials in a living or working place. A plumber is
someone who installs or repairs piping systems, plumbing fixtures and equipment such as
valves, washbasins, water heaters, water closests, etc. Thus it usually refers to a system of
pipes and fixtures installed in a building for the distribution of water and the removal of
waterborne wastes.

The latin word plumbum, means metal lead pipe, is the origin for developing the term
plumbing. Plumbing process was originated during the ancient civilizations such as the
greek, Roman, Persian, Indian and Chinese civilizations as they developed public baths and
needed to provide potable water, and drainage of wastes carried by water.

PIPES AND THEIR JOINTS:

Pipes are manufactured by using different types of materials like Steel, Cast Iron, Galvanized
Iron, Brass, Copper, Aluminum, Lead, Plastic, Concrete, Asbestos, etc. They are usually
classified according to the material. They are also grouped as cast, welded, seamless,
extruded, etc. For conveying large quantity of water, cast iron, steel or concrete pipes having
large diameter are usually used. Galvanized Iron pipes (GI pipes) are popular for medium
and low pressure water supply lines.

Plastic pipes are preferred for household uses at low pressure. Pipes are generally specified
by their inner diameter (Nominal diameter specified in inches). Hence, the pipe fitting size is
also based on this dimension. But for plastic pipes, this rule is not strictly followed because
threading is not usually required for them. For engineering uses, along with the nominal
diameter, the pipe thickness is also specified as light, medium or heavy.

TYPES OF PIPE JOINTS:

According to the pipe material, size and application, different methods are used to join pipes.
The most common types of pipe joints are:

2. Welded pipe joint – for Steel, Copper, Aluminum and Lead pipes
3. Flanged pipe joint – for Cast Iron and Steel pipes
4. Soldered pipe joint – for Brass and Copper tubes
5. Glued or Cemented pipe joint – for PVC pipes
Pipes made of iron (GI Pipes) and brass of small and medium diameters (10 mm to 100 mm)
are usually joined by screwing the pipe specials with internal or external threads. Welding is
used to make permanent joint of medium and large diameter steel pipes. Flanged pipe joints
are common in medium and large diameter pipes of cast iron and steel, along with
rubber/CAF (Compressed asbestos fibre) gaskets. The flanged are screwed to the pipe for
smaller diameter but made integral for large diameters. Pipes of copper and brass are usually
joined by soldering.

PVC (poly Vinyl Chloride) pipe is the most popular choice in plastic group. It is rigid and
uses thread and solvent weld (glue) connections. It also can be heat fused. PVC pipes are
available in various pressure ratings for water supply, and is a very choice for landscape
irrigation. The reasons for the popularity are the economy, no corrosion and easiness to work.
CPVC is a different type of plastic, which has an extra chlorine atom in the compound, can
be used for the hot water supply, and in industry.

To join plastic pipes, gluing or cementing method is used. Solvent cement is the gluing
material and it partially melts the surface of the plastic pipe to make the joint. As the glue
evaporates within two minutes, a strong joint is obtained. Screwed pipe fittings, (pipe
specials) are removable or temporary pipe connections which permit necessary dismantling
or reassembly for the purpose of installation, maintenance, cleaning, repair, etc. The
functions of pipe fittings can be broadly classified as:

1. To join two or more pipe lines together


2. To effect change in diameter or direction
3. To close the end of a pipe line

The most common types of screwed pipe fittings used in galvanized iron (GI) pipe lines and
plastic (PVC) pipe lines are shown in Figure. A brief description of these fittings is given
below

1. Coupler (coupling): Two pipe lines of equal diameter and in axial alignment can be
joined by a coupler (coupling). It is a short sleeve with internal thread.
2. Reducer coupler (Reducer coupling): This is a coupler to join two pipe lines of
different diameters in axial alignment.
3. 900 Elbow: This is a pipe special used or effecting abrupt change in direction through
90°. Internal threads are provided on both ends. An elbow brings twice the head loss
than a bend.
4. 900 Reducer Elbow: This is an elbow with outlet diameter less than that of inlet
diameter It is used to join two pipe lines having different diameters and meeting at
right angle.
5. Bend: This is a pipe special used to effect gradual change in direction (usually
90°).The two ends of the bend are externally threaded.
6. Return hand: This bend is used to return the direction of pipe line through 180°.The
ends are internally threaded for fitting the pipe lines.
7. Tee: This pipe special is used to make a branch connection of same diameter to the
main pipe line at right angle. A Tee is internally threaded and it connects three ends
of pipes.
8. Reducer Tee: This is a pipe special similar to Tee used to take a branch connection
of reduced diameter from the main pipe line.
9. Cross: This pipe special is used to take two branch connections at right angles to the
main pipe line. The threads are provided internally.
10. Close nipple: A nipple is a short straight piece of pipe with external thread on both
ends. A close nipple is the shortest one of this category with external thread for the
full length. They are used to join two internally threaded pipe specials and valves.
11. Short nipple: A short nipple has the same shape and function of a close nipple, but it
has a short unthreaded portion at the middle of its length for gripping.
12. Short nipple with hexagonal grip: This nipple has an additional hexagonal nut
shape at the middle portion for easy screwing with spanner. It is similar to an ordinary
short nipple, except that difference.
13. Hose nipple: A hose nipple is used to connect a hose (flexible pipe-usually plastic or
rubber) to a pipe line. One end of the hose-nipple has a stepped taper to fit the hose,
while other end has thread. A hexagonal nut shape is given to the middle portion for
gripping with a spanner.

14. Male Plug: A male plug is used to close an internally threaded end of a pipe line or
pipe special. It has external thread and a grip of square shape at the end.
15. Female Plug (Cap): A female plug is used to close an externally thread end of a pipe
or pipe special. It has internal thread and a grip of square shape at the end.
16. Screwed Union: II consists of three pieces as shown in the drawing. The two end
pieces have internal threads at their ends which are connected to the pipe ends. The
central hexagonal (or octagonal) piece (union nut) has internal thread at one end and a
collar at the other end. After the end pieces are screwed on to the pipes, the central
piece (union nut) is tightened to draw the end pieces together to get a water tight
joint.
17. Flange: This is a disc type pipe special having threaded hole at the centre for
screwing to the externally threaded end of a pipe line. It will have holes around the
central hole at equal angular spacing (3, 4, 6f or 8 Nos.) for joining to another similar
flange or flat surface using bolt or stud. Example for the use of various pipe fittings in
pipe line is given in Figure below.

VALVES AND METERS

Valves are used in piping systems to control or stop the flow of liquid or gas. The most
common types of valves used in low pressure water pipe line are:
1. Water tap
2. Water cock
3. Globe valve
4. Gate valve
5. Ball valve
6. Non-return valve
7. Foot valve

WATER TAP

To collect water from low pressure pipe line, water tap


(screw-down valve) is commonly used. Figure gives the
cross section of the tap. Its leather or rubber faced valve
disc is lifted or lowered by rotating the spindle. Brass or
gun-metal is the material used for the valve body and the size is specified by the pipe to
which it is fitted, usually ranging from 10 mm to 25 mm.

Department of Mechanical Engineering

WATER COCK

This is the simplest and smallest form of a valve in


which a conical plug called cock is inserted into a
conical hole having a matching taper. A rectangular hole
is provided at the centre across the conical potion so
that, in one position it permits flow of water as shown in
Figure. A half turn of the handle will bring the solid
portion of the cock to the water ways preventing the flow. Cocks are used for low rate of
water flow' or for tapping pressure line.

GLOBE VALVE

Globe valves are used as control valves in fluid (gas and


liquid) pipe lines. Figure shows the simplest and
smallest type of globe valve used in water pipe lines.
Basically, the valve is a variable opening flow device.
The design of a globe valve also creates a slight
retardation to the flow because the fluid is forced to
make a double turn and passes through the opening at 90° to the axis of the pipe. The valve
plug is raised or lowered to stop or regulate the flow through a circular opening. A globe
valve can be identified by the spherical body and the arrow mark for the direction of flow.
These valves are used in water pipe lines from 12 mm to 100 mm or even larger diameter for
the flow control purpose.

GATE VALVE:

A Gate valve is on-off type valve. It allows a straight-line movement of fluid and offer very
little resistance to the flow in fully opened position. The central disc moves completely out of
the passage and leaves a full opening. Figure shows a simple type of gate valve partially
opened in position. These valves are very widely used in water pipe lines of diameter ranging
from 12 mm to higher values. A gate valve can be identified by its slim body. It is to be noted
that there will be no arrow mark or the body of valve because it can be used in both ways.

FOOT VALVE:

Foot valve is a kind of non-return valve used in


centrifugal pumps. It is fitted at the bottom most end of
the suction pipe (Foot) to stop flow in the downward
direction for priming purpose. The strainer restricts the
entry of floating materials to the pipe line. Figure gives
the details of the foot valve. The material used may be
cast iron, brass, or PVC.
