* Panel heating copper fittings should be soldered with 95-5 solder. Steel fittings should be welded. D All underground feed and return lines buried in slab, should be equipped with fittings as outlined for panel heating. Refrigerant fittings on copper pipe must be wrought copper. All welded fittings should be long turn.
House sewer to main should be cast iron XH.
There is also the bending moment that may be caused by the flexure of the
pipe. For this chapter however, the flexure loading will not be treated
for the reason of complexity, as previously stated for the problem of ex pansion.

(including buckling)'from the pipe, it is necessary to design the hangers or
supports for the maximum bending stress. Even with perfect support
spacing there will be some sagging; therefore, the supports should be on a
gradient if it is necessary to prevent pockets. Such a condition arises for
condensate piping.
Typical bending and deflection equations are given in Table 21 in order that supports can be properly sized, and if necessary, pitched. These
equations are typical beam equations. If more complex loadings exist, proper beam equations can be applied. Such equations are found in standard texts on mechanics of materials.
By application of the equations given in this section and the section of expansion and flexibility, it is possible to determine the proper location and type of support for straight lines. The types are anchors and hangers.
Anchors are used to guide the expansion (sliding anchors) or to fix the
pipe. They are needed to take the stress out of the line and translate the stresses to the foundations. In that way all stress can be taken out of jfe before it can be transferred to such equipment as boilers or pumps,
y means of solid anchors, the anchors can be used to divide the piping to isolated sections that cannot transmit the stresses to other sections. Hangers are used to support the piping and to take out the bending
er^pes- They are of the spring, roller, or rod type. Such types gen ii' aUow the free movement of the pipe and yet maintain full support,

application of pipe, tube and fittings
In the application of pipe, tube and fittings it is necessary to comply with regulations contained in local codes and ordinances. Table 22 is
