Instead of setting forth the principles of joint-wipingand leaving the application of them to the reader, it willbe better to describe the process of preparing and wipingan underhand ;; or horizontal joint on two pieces of, say,f-in. pipe. For practice cut off with a saw two pieces of pipe each18 in. long. The saw used by plumbers is commonly 14 in.long in the blade, and of the pattern shown in Fig. 40(p. 19). Dress the pipes out straight with a soft wooddresser. The soft wood dresser is usually made of horn-beam, and is of the form shown in Fig. 11 (p. 18). In theshops and on jobs which are expected to take a considerabletime, generally a dresser is made out of a piece of quarter-ing, as shown in Fig. 142. It is easily made, is as usefulas the design sketched in Fig. 11 (p. 18), and does not markthe pipe as a hard dresser does. It is also cheaper, as itcosts nothing but the trouble of making it, the quarteringbeing picked up on the job. PIPE JOINTING. 63 Iron Clipand Stays.

Many plumbers are veryparticular, when making joints, to have every pipe-endperfectly square before using the turnpin or rasping off thearris. The result is seen in the greater neatness of theirwork. The burr should be cleaned out of the end of onepipe, and the outer arris rasped off, as shown in section byFig. 144. The other pipe-end should now be opened bymeans of the turnpin, Fig. 44 (p. 19), until the first pipewill enter as far as it is rasped off. It will then appearas in the section to the right of Fig. 144. Both pipesshould now be cleaned by wiping them with a clean rag or V . P . <3 .
