manganese, sulphilr, silicon, and copper makes very little difference in the amount or character of corrosion when under water, although under atmospheric exposure the influence of composition is more marked. Corrosion is stimulated by scale adhering to the iron surface, by electric

All dimensions given in inches. Size of all fittings listed indicates nominal inside diameter of port.
bTees, side outlet tees, and crosses, 16 in. and smaller, reducing on the outlet, have the same dimensions center to face, and face to face as straight size fittings, corresponding to the size of the larger opening. SiTA 18 in. and larger, reducing on the outlet, are made in two lengths, depending on the size of the outlet.
cTees and crosses, reducing on run only,'carry same dimensions center to face and face to face as a straight size fitting of the larger opening.

The best way to deal with corrosive water Supply is to treat it at its source. In practice, oxygen removal has been accomplished in two ways,

bReducing elbows and side outlet elbows carry same dimensions center to face as straight size elbows, corresponding to the size of the larger opening.
cSpecial degree elbows, ranging from 1 to 45 deg, inclusive, have the same center to face dimensions as given for 45 deg elbows and those over 45 deg and up to 90 deg, inclusive, shall have the same center to face dimensions as given for 90 deg elbows. The angle designation of an elbow is its deflection from straight line flow and is the angle between the flange faces.
<*Side outlet elbows shall have all openings on intersection center-lines.
