Steel Soil Pipe with welded joints
I've never seen this before, where a 4" soil pipe must have been factory
made. This was fitted into a 1960/70s council house. Sorry the photos are poor, too many cobwebs etc. Vertical pipe on left with 4" emerging to right http://i66.tinypic.com/2iv01u1.jpg Shows another 2" pipe emerging and heading off in the same direction as other horiz 4" pipe. http://i66.tinypic.com/34t48bt.jpg |

I forgot to add the pipe and welded joints were galvanised. This was fitted into a 1960/70s council house.

That resulted in quite a few innovative techniques being tried, some successful, some not. Building a lot of identical houses would be the ideal place to try factory pre-assembly and welded steel pipes would need less material than traditional cast iron. -- -- Colin Bignell |
