Economical artificial RAINMAKING made easy with permanently trouble-free KEASBEY & MATTISON ASBESTOS-CEMENT UNDERGROUND PIPE for better, greener, more profitable GOLF COURSES, FARMS, ORCHARDS, NURSERIES, PARKS, CEMETERIES \ one of the best investments we've ever made," writes the supervisor of the beautiful Whitemarsh Valley Country Club, Whitemarsh, Pa., where K&M irrigation pipe replaced a rapidly deteriorating metal pipe system. "... in crops saved and labor eliminated, the installation with K&M pipe paid for itself in a few years," writes Charles Heal, the owner of a large truck farm in Burlington, N. J. June 19, 1958 Keasbey & Mattison Company Butler Avenue Ambler, Pennsylvania Gentlemen: As you can probably imagine / a golf course needs lots of water In order to keep in top "tournament" condition. This is particularly true during summer months when the greens and fairways take a real beating from the hot sun. With the increasingly dry weather we've been having in this area our old irrigation system was no longer able to give us the watering capacity our course needed. We found that during periods of draught we weren't getting the volume of water we needed and parts of the course were Inadequately watered. Travelling sprinklers were work ing 24 hours a day--even when members were on the course playing. Things will be different from now on though. With our new irrigation system using Keasbey & Mattison Asbestos-Cement pipe, we are able to get water to every part of the course, and in sufficient quantity to keep it properly conditioned. Moreover, the ease of laying K&M pipe enabled us to use our own crews who installed it during the winter months. In view of this, we feel that this is one of the best Investments the club ever made. SWi.n..cVeVr.eVl.y/ yjwouurtse, _ diu, C.idtffzJbredU Ross Woodward Golf Course Superintendent Keasbey & Mattison Company Butler Avenue Ambler, Pennsylvania Gentlemen: On truck farms, where ve can never be sure of enough rainfall, draught is an ever present danger. Not enough water can mean not only the loss of our entire crop but In some cases, complete ruin as well. That's why I'm glad'the crops on our farm are protected by Keasbey & Mattison Asbestos-Cement Underground Irrigation Pipe. With a system using your pipe, ve don't have to worry about rainfall. We can make our own, with the result that our crops get all the water they need throughout the Important growing season. Moreover, In addition to Insurance against draught conditions, our low lying crops are also protected against early spring frosts. By starting the sprinklers vorklng at the right time, ve prevent frost from forming when the dev point occurs. Our savings began the day ve put your pipe into the ground. We even used our own equipment and the K&M couplings were so easy to put together, ve vere able to lay the asbestos-cement pipe vlth our own men. Because ve've never had any trouble vlth the pipes corroding or becoming stopped up, our maintenance costs have been small. In terms of crops saved, and lover labor costs, ve figure the install ation of K & M pipe has already paid for itself many times over. It has been an Investment ve will always be glad ve made.

LIGHT AND EASY TO HANDLE. Lightweight K&M asbestos cement irrigation pipe means lower shipping costs, easier handling, and faster installations by fewer men. t). RUGGED. LASTING STRENGTH. Tough asbestos fibers act like reinforcing steel when combined with durable Portland cement. Each pipe length receives the same quality control in manufacturing, assuring uniformly high performance. C. NON TUBERCULATING. SMOOTH BORE. Smooth inner surface remains the same for years. Will not corrode or tuberculate. Nozzle clogging is eliminated. Pumping costs remain low. (1. QUICK, FOOLPROOF INSTALLATION K&M's patented FLUID TITE coupling gives you a tight, permanent seal . . makes quick work of joining pipe lengths . . . allows up to 5 degrees deflection per joint. Even in bad weather. K&M pipe is easily installed. G. IMMUNE TO ELECTROLYSIS. With K&M asbestos cement pipe, electrolysis is impossible. Your lines are always in service, year in and year out. Ordinary irrigation pipe pits and rusts, until the exhausted lengths have to be replaced. f. FLEXIBLY LAID TO FIT YOUR LAYOUT. The 5 degree deflection allowed by K&M's remarkable FLUID TITE coupling permits turns to by pass obstacles like trees and roads that are better left undisturbed. KsM " PATENTED FLUID-TITE <r t6 Cross-section of gasket in place in coupling. The groove is slightly larger than the gasket, providing space for the elongation of the gasket under compression. Arrows show forces caused by slight twist in the gasket, the result of the groove design serving to hold the gasket tightly in the groove. Pipe entering coupling. The taper on the pipe at this point has a flatter angle than that of the gasket. This allows the pipe end to come in contact with the gasket beyond the mid-point... preventing the pipe end from pushing against the solid heel of the gasket and rolling it out of its groove. IRRIGATION COUPLING I i The exclusive, patented coupling from Keasbey and Mattison, leaders in asbestos-cement products. More pipe laid per hour with fewer men. Pipe in place in coupling. The gasket is compressed between the pipe and the bottom of the coupling groove. Compressive forces act along the area of contact to prevent leakage at this point. The compression of the heel of the gasket acts to seal out root intrusion and ground 'water penetration. L When pressure is applied to the line, water entering between the separation of the pipe ends, within the coupling, expands the perforated surface of the gasket. It enters these orifices and further expands the gasket. Thus, as internal pressure increases, the seal becomes even tighter. K K&M Asbestos-Cement Underground Irrigation Pipe can carry your water supply where you want it. Golf Course (9 hole) Farm  , <- jj^ s '-itt. Lightweight K&M pipe can be laid almost anywhere Being light in weight K&M asbestos-cement irrigation pipe can be laid where ordinary, much heavier pipe, would necessitate expensive construction methods. K&M pipe can be laid through marshes or mushy soil, and, of course, it can be sunk under water without the risk of rust or corrosion. Once in place, tough K&M pipe resists shifting, takes ground vibrations without injury, and, because of the "give" of FLUID-TITE couplings, it is unaffected by other underground stresses. ft's easily connected to your water supply f No zhatter what your water source may be--pond, stream, well, or' v. municipal main--your K&M asbestos-cement irrigation pipe can be readily connected using versatile FLUID-TITE fittings and couplings. Trenches, in many cases, need be dug only to a minimum depth of 24 inches to i avoid damage frpm plows or. harrows. More depth may be required to put your pipe below the frost line if draining is not possible in winter. These shallow trenches may require no other trenching equipment j^s^yorliwe'iiow.. : -1 ,- .. .-stT rt-'~ 50 Ft. Hd. for K&M Asbestos-Cement Underground Irrigation Pipe " --`L" ; PIPES ID. O.D.
