Also sold and installed by Johns-Manville Construction Units in all principal cities. *G us PArQftr STEAM CONDUIT SYSTEMS "Permanent" Protection is Import ant--Therm-O-Tile has been on the mar ket over a dozen years. Its design is well known to all leading heating and ventilat ing engineers but we would again like to point to the great importance of "Perma nent protection." In previous issues of this book we stated that Therm-O-Tile is "A complete conduit system for the permanent support, pro tection, and insulation of underground mains for steam distribution." Beware "Temporary" Protection We consistently em phasize the word "per manent." It is easy to provide "temporary" protection and insula tion for. underground pipe lines. Threads and joints don't fail immediately, and foun dations don't sag im mediately, but unless the job is properly done it won't be long before water seeps in and.ruins the insulation." With wet and spoiled insula tion, efficiency drops drastically. And, unless the conduit is built on a solid foundation there will be sagging and col lection of water in pockets. Be sure of a "permanent" job. Therm-O-Tile Drainage System-- In the Therm-O-Tile concrete base there is a drainage channel--clearly visible in this photo--which carries off all water that may enter the conduit from any source, thereby keeping the insulation permanently dry. Drainage is entirely internal. The channel is accurately and permanently sloped so that condensate or other pockets cannot form. Open to thorough inspection at any time at manholes. Amply large to keep the pipe space dry at all times. "Spread Footing" Foundation--So that there will be no settling or sagging the Therm-O-Tile "Spread Footing" foun dation base is a thick concrete slab poured directly in the trench bottom as shown in the photograph. It is steel reinforced or placed on driven piles when installed over filled or boggy ground--constructions that are necessary for permanent protection. See Previous Issues--In issues of this Guide previous to 1944 we gave details regarding the Tile Envelope which pro duces 27 different conduit cross sections. We told about the ideal accessibility of this conduit, its great strength, how it is water-proofed, and how the insulation is applied. For complete information ask for a copy of Bulletin 381. Competitive in Cost--Despite the high efficiency, greater strength, dependability, and other outstanding features that are obtained -in Therm-O-Tile, it is neverthe less competitive in total first cost. Final cost is much less, thanks to its permanence. Thorough investigation is invited. We Co-operate--Our engineers have had unusual and broad experience in the design and installation of steam conveying equipment for an exceptional range of purposes. They will gladly cooperate with you in the solution of your own individual problems of this nature. Single or Multiple Pipe Lines Using Sectional Pipe Insulation.
