Book excerpt: Until 1840, indoor plumbing could be found only in mansions and first-class hotels. Then, in the decade before mid-century, Americans representing a wider range of economic circumstances began to install household plumbing with increasing eagerness. Ogle draws on a wide assortment of contemporary sources - sanitation reports, builders' manuals, fixture catalogues, patent applications and popular scientific tracts - to show how the demand for plumbing was more by an emerging middle-class culture of convenience, reform and domestic life than by fears abour poor hygiene and inadequate sanitation. She also examines advancements in water-supply and waste-management technology, the architectural considerations these amenities entailed and the scientific approach to sanitation that began to emerge by century's end.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Plumbing Plumbing as a trade has kept pace tolerably well with modern progress, although there is still much to be done in the line of improvement. No trade connected with house-building is of such importance as plumbing, the health of the tenants depending, we may say, almost entirely upon the sanitary appliances and their connections, which are used to convey all waste and foul matter into the sewer, and above all to prevent the entrance of noxious gases. It is the latter consideration which has caused an almost complete revolution of methods in plumbing. It was always, and is now, where the sewers are good, a comparatively easy matter to dispose of any refuse which will run through a pipe. A sufficient fall to facilitate the rapid running of water is all that is required for that purpose. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plumbing: A Working Manual of American Plumbing Practice, Including Approved Fixtures, Piping Systems, House Drainage, and Modern Methods of Sanitation Modern methods of sanitation as well as the complications introduced by the development of the city building, have in late years placed responsibilities on the professional plumber far beyond the ability to wipe a joint and solve the ordinary drainage problems of a frame dwelling. The successful plumber must not only be a good workman who knows where to use lead pipe and where to use brass and iron, how to properly place the drains and the piping, and how to properly mount the fixtures; bit he must be versed in the principle of sanitation, the proper location of tanks, the sizes of water and drainage pipe, the laws of water flow, pressure, and many other questions involved in giving to any dwelling, office building, or factory, adequate and well designed water and drainage systems. This means that the up-to-date plumber must really be a sanitary engineer and it is to give the practical man authoritative information on these subjects that this little volume has been published. The article covers a discussion of the latest types of plumbing fixtures; house water supply with practical examples and diagram showing methods of installation; pumps and service pipes; connections for hot-water systems with temperature regulators; filters and water motors; gas piping and meter reading; sewage disposal and purification; sewer construction; and the description of a complete house drainage system. The authors are both men of reputation and long experience in practical plumbing work, and it is their hope as well as that of the publishers that this volume will prove of distinct value to the professional plumber as well as to those who are only interested in keeping in touch with modern progress.

Book excerpt: One of the fundamental tenets of modernism was its image of hygiene, its ideal of bringing cleanliness and order to the great unwashed, as evident in Adolf Loos's 1898 article, Plumbers. Using Loos as a point of departure, the essays in this collection examine architecture through the multiple meanings inherent in plumbing - from the pipes of modern hygiene, to the plumb line of the right angle, to Marcel Duchamp's Ready-made urinal.
