Products--Ric-wiL Conduit, which in cludes Base .Drain, Pipe Supports, Insula tion and other accessories, for underground steam, hot water, and fuel oil pipes. Cast Iron Conduit for extra heavy duty.
Dry-paC Waterproof Filler-- Perma nently impervious to water, repells mois ture. Unusually high efficiency and great natural strength. Will not slump down away from pipes. Is non-corrosive.
Ric-wiL Conduit--Vitrified tile, bell and spigot type, which splits on the job for easy installing. Special Loc-liP Side Joints seal top and bottom halves together again after pipes and insulation are installed. A strong, water tight joint. Sections 2 ft. long. Sizes I. D. 4 to 24 in.
Engineering Service--Help in planning and supervision. Catalogs and special information on request.
Ric-wiL Base Drains-- Vitrified tile. Designed to be a base drain foundation for supporting and lining up conduit and drain for carrying away moisture. Slotted sections interlock with conduit bells to form a strong construction.
Ric-wiL Pipe SupportsPlanned to carry one to five or -more pipes and ordinarily spaced 12 ft. apart. Made of rust-proof cast iron. I nterlocked with base drain, imposing no load on conduit itself.
Ric-wiL Conduit Sys tems for All Uses--Type F System for steam heat ing and power plants. Unlined Ric-wiL Conduit with filler packed around pipes. Dry-paC Water proof Filler if desired.

SHUNT STEAM METER
The Shunt Steam Meter fills the need for a low priced, practical steam meter which is easily installed and accurate over a wide range. It is used to advantage in measuring steam sold or in checking the distribution of steam (also air or gas) to various buildings, departments, machines or processes. Illustration shows the complete Meter. An orifice in the main line of flow deflects a portion of the steam through nozzles and against the turbine located in the shunt circuit out of the main line of flow. The turbine shaft extends through a housing into a condensation chamber below the main line. A damping fan attached to this shaft operates under water, keeping the speed low and eliminating bearing trouble. Magnetic drive between this chamber and the counter mechanism protects the latter from moisture. The meter is installed as a unit in 2, 3 and 4-in. lines. For larger size mains a small meter is installed in a by-pass line around an orifice in the main line.
