ANACONDA DEOXIDIZED
COPPER TUBES
After studying performance records, The American Brass Company endorses Anaconda Copper Tubes, connected with solder fittings, in sizes up to 2 in. where conditions of pressure and heat are normal. Copper Tubes available in long lengths and coils may be bent for ordinary turns and offsets, offering obvious instaflation advantages. Anaconda Copper Tubes are drawn to the accurate size required for use with solder-type fittings.
Anaconda Copper Tubes are furnished in two wall thicknesses--Type "K" and "L." Type K, the heavier, conforms to U. S. Government Spec. No. WW-T-799
and A.S.T.M. Spec. No. B-88-33. Ana conda Type K Tubes are recommended for:
1. Underground water service lines. 2. Hot and cold water lines. 3. Sprinkler systems. 4. Low pressure steam lines. 5. Oil Burner suction and return lines.
Anaconda Type L Copper Tubes meet Government and A.S.T.M. Specifications for this class and are considered suitable for interior plumbing, although the heavier grade, Type K, is preferred. Data on the comparative wall thicknesses and weights are included in the accompanying table.
Lengths and Coils--Anaconda Deoxi dized Copper Water Tubes in sizes up to and including 1J4 in. are furnished soft in 30, 45 and 60-ft coils; also hard or soft in 20-foot straight lengths. Sizes over 1 in. are furnished hard or soft in straight lengths only.

ANACONDA COPPER TUBE
FITTINGS
A complete line of Anaconda Fittings, both solder and flared tube types, is available for the assembly of copper tubes. For size range of fittings, see accompanying table. All three following types of fittings are furnished in elbows, tees, couplings and unions, including a complete range of reduction and adapter combinations. Solder fittings are checked with maximum and minimum gages to insure accuracy and the close tolerance required for dependable solder connections.
Wrought Copper Solder Fittings-- Provide copper to copper connections, are uniform in quality and free from porosity. Generous depth of cup and unusually high shoulder give well made joints an extra factor of safety.
Cast Bronze Solder Fittings--Are made of "steam bronze" alloy (85 percent copper, 5 per cent zinc, 5 per cent tin and 5 per cent lead). All cast fittings are care fully gauged and checked by air pressure under water. Test joints (% in.) withstood a straight pull of 7000 lb at 70 F and 1500 lb. at 210 F. At all temperatures between 70 and 210 F, test joints withstood in ternal pressure exceeding 2000 p.s.i.
Solder--That used in the foregoing tests was 95 per cent tin--5 per cent antimony-- the alloy recommended for best all-around results. Melting point is 465 F.; cooling range is only 15 F. "Hard" solder is, of course, ideal, and where unusually high temperatures are en countered,' it is recommended that a high strength, high melt point solder such as Sil-Fos be used (1300 F).
Cast Bronze Flared Tube Fittings-- Serving a definite need for assembling soft tubes in sprinkler systems, under ground lines, etc., these fittings are also made of "steam bronze" alloy.

ANACONDA "85" RED-BRASS PIPE
Anaconda "85" Red-Brass Pipe is offered as the highest quality corrosionresistant pipe commercially obtainable at
a moderate price and is recommended for use in localities where highly corrosive water conditions prevail. These waters may be relatively low in hardness, high in carbonic acid gas content and low in alkalinity.
Anaconda "85" Red-Brass Pipe con tains 85 per cent copper and conforms to government specifications for Grade "A" water pipe. The words "Anaconda 85 Red-Brass" are stamped in the metal at intervals of one foot throughout each length.
ANACONDA "67" BRASS PIPE
Anaconda "67" Brass Pipe can be depended upon to give lasting service in all localities where normal water conditions prevail.
Anaconda "67" Brass Pipe contains67 per cent copper and conforms to government specifications for Grade "B" water pipe. It can be identified by the numerals "67" following the name "Anaconda" stamped in the metal every 12 in. in each length.
Anaconda Publication B-l describes Anaconda Pipe, Tubes and Fittings in de tail, and offers suggested methods of assembly. Write for it.
*Everdur Tanks--Nearly all copper, Everdur is a special non-rust alloy which combines the strength of medium carbon steel with ready weldability. It is an ideal material for durable, rustless water tanks of every description--from domestic range boilers to giant storage heaters for hotels, laundries, hospitals, textile plants, schools or breweries.
Everdur is made in all commercial shapes, including tank plates which have physical properties as given in A.S.T.M. tentative specifications B96-34T. For ad ditional data, and names of fabricators, address our nearest office.
. Everdur for Air Conditioning Equip ment--Everdur Metal has been used with
marked success for fans and blowers,
ducts, humidifiers (air washers) and for various cast and wrought parts of other equipment items subject to corrosive influences.
Because of its strength and welding properties, Everdur may be substituted for steel in the same gauges, fabricated by substantially the same methods, and with the same equipment.
"Everdur" is a registered trademark identifying pro ducts of The American Brass Company made from alloyB of copper, silicon and other elements.
