Plumbing is the work or business of installing in buildings the pipe, fixtures, and other apparatus for bringing in the water supply and removing liquid and water-borne wastes. The term is .also used to denote the installed- fixtures and piping.of a building. 33* Plumbing fixtures. Plumbing fixtures are receptacles which receive and dis- charge water, liquid, or water-borne wastes into a drainage system With which-they are connected. 3U. P*lumbing system. The plumbing, system of a building includes the water-supply distributing pipes; the:fixtures and fixture traps; the soil, waste, and vent pipes; the building (house) drain'and building (house) sewer; and the storm-drainage oipes; with their devices, appurtenances, and connections all within or.adjacent to the'building. 35. Relief vent. A relief vent is a branch from the vent stack, connected to a horizontal branch between the first fixture branch and the soil or waste Stack, -hose primary function is to provide for circulation of air between' the vent stack and the soil or waste stack. 36. Size of pipe and tubing. The size of pipe or tubing, unless otherwise stated, is the nominal size by which the pipe or tubing is commercially designated. Actual dimensions of the different kinds of pipe and tubing aro given in the specifications applying. FLA. STATE SANITARY CODE CHAPTER IX. Page A. 37. Soil pipe. A soil pipe is any pipe which conveys the discharge of water closets or fixtures having similar functions, with or without the discharges from other fixtures. 38. Stack. Stack is a general term for the vertical main of a system of soil, waste, or vent piping. 39. Stack-vent. A stack-vent is the extension of a soil or waste stack above the highest horizontal or fixture branch connected to the stack. 10. Subsoil drain. A subsoil drain is a drain installed for collecting subsurface or seepage water and conveying it to a place of disposal. 11. Trap. A trap is a fitting or device so designed and constructed as to'provide a liquid trap seal which will prevent the passage of air through it. 12. Trap seal. The trap seal is the vertical distance between the crown weir and the dip of the trap. 13. Vent. A vent is a pipe installed to provide a flow of air to or from a drain- age system or to provide a circulation of air within such system to protect trap seals from siphonage and back pressure. 11. Vent stack. A vent stack, sometimes called a main vent, is a vertical vent pipe installed primarily for the purpose of providing circulation of air to or from any part of the building-drainage system. 15. Waste pipe. A waste pipe is a drain pipe which receives the discharge of any fixture other than water closets or other fixtures receiving human excreta. 16. Water-service .pipe. The water-service pipe is that part of a building main installed by or under the jurisdiction of a water department or company. 17. Water-supply system. The water-supply system of a building consists of the water-service pipe, the water-distributing pipes, and the necessary .connecting pipes, fittings, and control valves. IB. Wet vent. A wet vent is a soil or waste pipe that serves also as a vent. FLA. STATE SANITARY CODE CHAPTER IX. Page 5.

FLORIDA STATE SANITARY CODE CHAPTER XXIII Regulations Governing the Impounding and Maintenance of Impounded Waters in Florida In order to prevent an increase in the prevalence of malaria and to avoid the formation of foci of endemic malaria by the impounding of waters, under and by virtue of authority vested in it by the Legislature of Florida, (Chapter 19366, General Laws of Florida, Acts of 1939), the State Board of Health does hereby promulgate and publish the following rules and regulations governing the impounding of waters or damming of water courses in the State of Florida. Definitions 1, Impounded Water - Any body of water formed by the construction or excavation of a basin or the obstruction of stream flow in such a manner as to cause the collection of a body of water which would hot have formed under natural conditions. Such impounded waters of less than l/lO acre of water surface, used exclusively for watering livestock or for other domestic purposes, are not included in this definition. 2. Flotage - Any small material or collection of such materials on the surface of impounded water, such as leaves, chips, bark, small twigs, grasses and the like, which may provide breeding conditions for malaria- carrying mosquitoes (Anopheles). 3. Drift - Any large materials or collection of such materials on the surface of impounded water such as logs, brush, and the like which may collect and hold flotage or otherwise produce conditions favorable to the production of malaria-carrying mosquitoes. Section (l), Any person, firm, corporation, county, or municipality desiring to impound water, or who propose to raise the level of a previously existing pond by the elevation of point of overflow of a dam, shall, prior to the initiation of any construction activities, make application to the State Board of Health for, and obtain from it, preliminary permit for the impound- ing of such water. PROVIDED: That this section, shall not be construed to apply to ponds of less than l/lO acre for watering stock or other domestic purposes, nor to impound waters so located that no portion of them lies within one mile of any permanent human habitation, congregation, or place of business, other than that of the owner. Section (2). Such application for a preliminary permit shall be made in writing in the name of the person, firm, corporation, county, or munici- pality making application, and shall be accompanied by a description of the proposed project, its purpose, and its exact location; also by an accurate plat of the area to be affected, showing particularly the maximum and minimum water levels. FLA. STATE SANITARY CODE CHAPTER XXIII. Page 2 Section (3). Such a temporary permit for the inauguration of initial construction shall be issued by the State Board of Health when the following rules and regulations, or modifications thereof, have been made to apply to the said project. PROVIDED: That all the provisions of this Section need not apply to impounding projects when, in the opinion of the State Board of Health, there are other factors or circumstances which render or may render the observance or compliance with the provisions of this Section unnecessary. (3-a). In the area to be occupied by the Reservoir, its branches, bights, and indentations, all brush, trees, undergrowth, logs, stumps, and similar objects, which, if not removed,, would float or collect flotage on the surface of the impounded water, and all of the above material that is lying on the ground or remaining in original or new position, which would probably cause collection of flotage to gather, and thus constitute conditions favorable to the protection of larvae of mosquitoes capable of conveying malaria, shall be removed, burned, or otherwise satisfactorily disposed of, prior to the impounding of the water. NOTE; The above does not include grass, vegetation, brush, trees, stumps, etc., which will be permanently and completely submerged at time of low water and which are, therefore, not of sanitary importance. (3—&)• In the area to be occupied by the Reservoir, its branches, bights, and indentations, all brush, trees, and undergrowth which would pierce the surface at low water level shall be cut off at least one foot below such water level, to prevent the collection and anchorage of any possible flotage, rafts, etc. (3-C')» The shore line of the reservoir, its branches, bights, and indentations, from minimum low water level to an elevation of 1 foot above normal high water level, shall be cleared of all brush, trees, undergrowth, and the like, so as to prevent the collection of drift and flotage along the shore. (3-d), In the designing and construction of the impoundage project, fdashboards or other means shall be provided for controlled fluctuation of the water level at any season of the year in the manner and amount as specified by the State Department of Public Health, (3—©)• In the designing and construction of the impoundage project, bottom drains or other means shall be provided which will permit removal of the impounded water.

All pine trees within an area circumscribed by a line 50 feet inland from the maximum high water level of the reservoir, its branches,., bights, and indentations, shall be ringed and deadened at the time of initial FLA. STATE SANITARY CODE CHAPTER XXIII, Page 3 ' construction on the project, so as to prevent the falling into the water of pine tags, collections of which provide a favorable breeding place for Anopheline larvae. (3-g). Small ponds, or other waters, suitable for the propagation of Gambusia (top minnows) in sufficient numbers to stock the reservoir, its branches, bights, and indentations for effective mosquito control, shall be provided at the time of initial construction on the project, in accordance with definite written instructions from the State Board of Health, (3-h). All depressions which will be filled with water from the reservoir, its branches, bights, and indentations at time of maximum water level, in which water will be retained at lower stages of the water level, thus forming separate pools, shall be connected with the normal body of the reservoir, or any of its branches, bights, or indentations, with a ditch or culvert which will permit complete drainage at low water stage and the entrance of top- feeding minnows. NOTE: Such places are generally few in number, but are of importance in mosquito production. Section (l). A preliminary permit for the impounding of water having been granted by the State Board of Health, and construction work on the project begun, a representative of the State Board of Health shall make in- spections of the project from time to time, and as requested by the permit holder, and the State Board of Health shall approve in writing of that portion of the work as is outlined in Section 3 of the Regulations which has been satisfactorily completed. h3 the said representative of the State Board of Health determines that the preliminary permit holder is complying with the provisions of Section 3~a of these regulations, and as it shall appear that the preliminary permit holder has complied with the provisions of Section 3-b of these Regulations, the permit holder may thereupon proceed, as authorized by written approval, from the State Board of Health, with the impounding of water to a level specified by said representative of the State Board of Health, and, when it shall appear that the permit holder has complied with the Regulations to the satis- faction of the Board, said State Board of Health shall certify such fact to the permit holder in writing and the permit holder may thereupon proceed with the impounding of water to a maximum high water level. Section (5). The State Board of Health shall thereupon issue a final permit for the maintenance of an Impounding project by said applicant, the validity of said permit being contingent upon the observance of the follov/- ing regulations; (5~a), During the mosquito breeding season the permit holder shall regularly and frequently remove all flotage and floating debris in the reser- voir, its branches, bights, and indentations which are producing mosquitoes within one mile of human habitation, and shall during mosquito breeding season satisfactorily apply such larvicide as approved by the State Board of Health to all anopheles breeding areas of the reservoir or parts of the impounded waters, FLA. STATE SANITARY CODE CHAPTER XXIII. Page A. (5-b), Prompt and proper measures shall be taken to prevent the growth of cat-tails, bulrushes, and other aquatic or semi-aquatic vegetation which offers protection of anopheline larvae from their fish enemies. (5-a), Newly created impounded waters shall not be stocked with game fish, (trout or bass and pike), without written permission from the State Board of Health and the State Department of Conservation, (5-d), After the water.has been impounded, the State Board of Health shall from time to time make such inspections of the impounded water and ad- jacent areas as are deemed essential; and any conditions found on the im- pounded water project that are,,, or may be, detrimental to public health, or are likely to cause an increase of malaria, shall be modified by the permit holder so as to be satisfactory to the State Board of Health, (5a*e), These Regulations shall govern any change in water level or the re-impounding of water, and as soon as any proposed changes- affecting the maximum water Novation are contemplated, the State Board of Health shall be notified in writing. Section (6). Failure to comply with the provision of any section or sub-section of these Regulations shall constitute a violation thereof, and shall constitute, according to Chapter 19366, General Laws of Florida, Acts 1939 and the Sanitary Code of Florida,, a misdemeanor, punishable as provided in that Section.

FLORIDA STATE SANITARY CODE CHAPTER Mosquito Proofing the House to Prevent Malaria This chapter is intended to cover only the essentials of making the home mosquito-proof. THE SCREEN DOOR You can build your own screen door if you choose by following the directions in this bulletin, • "« First, decide which way the door is to open, being careful if it opens under the slanting roof of a porch that you allow for the slant. Remember; 1, All screen doors must open outward; i.e,, opening away from the structure. 2, The screen door must be strongly built; it must be durable, properly fitted and properly hung, 3, It.must close quickly and tightly after being used. A. It fits against the outside of the door casing and not into the door frame. , Procedure; Metal triangles to fit the corners are made, by cutting up a piece of No, 28 gauge galvanized iron 24 inches by 12 inches, into 6 inch squares. This will' give B squares. Cut 7 of these squares diagonally and you will have 14 large 6 inch triangles. Take 6 of these large triangles and-cut diagonally again so as to make 12 triangles each 4i by 4i by 6 inches. The 8 large 6 inch triangles and the 12 smaller triangles Serve as bracing for the door frame. The eighth square will furbish bracing for (G) see cut. f. ; On measuring-the clear opening across the door if, for example, it is found to be 28 inches, to this dimension add 2 inches which will be the length of the top and bottom strip of the screen1 door. If on measuring the door opening, this opening measures 70 inches, to this dimension add one inch (a total of 71"). This represents the total length of the dooi*. Select from the 5/4" x 3" dressed lumber the piece measuring T2* from which is cut "D" (the top,of door) which is cut the width of the door (30H). Pieces MB" & "C" are next to be cut and they are secured as follows: piece "S'-' from the remainder of the 5/4" x 3" x 12* piece and MC” from the 5/4" x 3" x 10* piece. With the ends squared on these two pieces of lumber, they form butt joints on the'bottom side of '0”, giving 3 sides of your door. Measure from the top edge of piece "D" 6SM or'3" less than the total length of the door, and square these two upright side pieces of the door ("B" & "C") when cutting at the measured point, namely.at 68”. Next using the 5/4" x 6” k piece of lumber cut piece H the width of door (30”)• Then, cut out of H rectangle notches at each end into which fit the bottom ends of ”B" & "G" leaving 3" of H below the notches to make the total length of door 71". These four cut pieces of lumber should fit together perfectly to form the frame of your door. FLA. STATE SANITARY CODE CHAPTER LTC. Page 2 The frame should be laid out on the screening table or porch before nailing and dimensions checked. If no porch is available use floor of the house. Fit the four pieces together and set the frame by driving in 5/8" corrugated fastener in each corner thus closing the frame of the door. Be sure the corners fit snugly before nailing. Then take one of the 6 inch metal triangles and after being sure the corner fits tightly, nail this triangle on as shown in the picture using 8 #2d common nails to each triangle. A large triangle is used on each corner.of the door. Then three pieces of 5/4" x 3" lumber are cut to fit as cross braces for the door and are inserted into the frame at 39"* 25", 9" as measured from the bottom of the screen door frames. These dimensions can be varied to suit the door, but the highest cross brace should bo at the height where the hand would commonly rest when pushing the door open. Those cross pieces or rails are fastened in place with the 3" small metal triangles as shown using the 6 2d common nails per triangle. Small corrugated nails can bo used to hold the cross rails in place where the tri- angles are being nailed in. Four small triangles are used—one in each corner. A wood inset (G) is placed in screen door as an extra precaution to pre- vent pushing screen loose wiicn opening door. Then the screen door is turned over and the wire screen is tacked on, starting at the top and working down the sides stretching the wire taut as tack- ing proceeds. Select your width of 16 or 18 mesh wire screen so that you will have at least one inch bearing surface on each side of the’ frame. Thus for 26" clear opening we would use 28 inch wire; for opening of 27 inches we would use 30 inch wire screen. Place the tacks about 1 inch apart on centers and tack across on the cross bars or rails. Leave a two inch lap on. the bottom of the door and fasten it to the frame with a double row Of tacks spacing them rSLternatively thus,' , As most of the wear comes at the bottom of the screen door, allow plenty of lap here and tack securely. Use No, 6 bill poster tacks. Next nail in place the 4 large and 6 small triangles of 28 gauge galvaniz- ed iron in a similar manner to those nailed on in the second operation. These tri- angles fit over the wire screening and help to hold it in place. Then select a piece of lumber (A-See picture). Cut it the same length as the completed door. With the screen door on the floor or ground with the screen side dawn place this extra piece of lumber on the side opposite wood insert "G" and attach it to the screen door by the two 3 inch loose pin butt hinges, spacing the hinges not more than 12 inches from the top and bottom. Leave a space the thickness of a five cent piece between the door and the hinge strip to prevent binding. When hung in place the screen wire is on the inside of the door. The door is now ready to be hung. This is done by nailing the hinge strip to the house door frame. Do not nail until you arc sure the door properly covers the opening and will swing properly. Then nail the hinge strip securely to the door casing. Nail a 5/4" x 5/4" strip of lumber along the top and open side of the door, and if necessary along the bottom to make a close fitting screen door. Then step inside and examine the door carefully to block up or build up any open- ings around the.screen door through which insects might enter. FLA. STATE SANITARY CODE CHAPTER ::CA.. Pago 3 To keep the screen door fitting snugly against the house, a 14" coil spring is used. This can be fastened to the top cross brace or to the top cross piece of the door. This spring should be so placed that when the door is closed the spring will be stretched about four inches. Care should be exercised in plac- ing the spring so that when the wooden door of the house is opened or shut it will not rub against the spring, Handles and hooks as desired can be attached to the door. If at any time the house settles or the door does not fit properly or needs repairing the steel pins are removed and repairs made. A new tight casing can be made taking off the 5/4 inch by 5/4 inch strips and renailing them after the remodeled door is set up again. SCREENING WINDOWS This is a very simple operation if no frames are used, the entire open- ing is screened whether it has a movable glass sash or not. Screen the entire open- ing allowing at least a 1 inch lap on the sides-thus if 27 inches across use 30 inch wire screen. The length of screen wire needed equals the length of the clear opening plus at least 3 inches. Allow a one inch lap at the top and at the bottom place a double row of tacks similar to the screen door procedure. It is often necessary to tack the wire to the bottom window sill and then bend it under and tack to the house proper. It is the bottom of the window screen that receives the hardest wear and this is the reason for the double tacking here. Use No, 6 bill poster tacks as in the case of the screen door. Copper tacks may be used if desired. Stagger about 1 inch apart on top and sides. Inspect the job thoroughly to see no openings are left where mosquitoes can get in. FLOOR CRACKS Several procedure are possible in closing floor cracks. If possible nail a new tongue and groove floor over the old floor. The next best plan is to tear up the old floor and relay with the boards driven close together. If neither plan is possible, then cut galvanized sheeting or tin into two inch strips, and nail these strips down over the cracks with lathe nails spaced 2 inches apart or closer, driven along the edge of the tin. Old corrugated roofing pounded flat makes ex- cellent strips, or old tin signs can bo used. Strips 2 inches by 30 inches cost approximately one cent per running foot. Wooden strips can be used in corners and under beds. These can be nailed on the floor surface or may be put on from under the house if there is room to work under the house. REMEMBER The Anopheles mosquito will work a long time trying to find an opening to get into the house to get her blood meal. After she has fed, she gets sluggish and rests up in the dark corners and is in no hurry to leave, she may stay in several days. Every morning look on your screens and in the corners and kill, by swatting, all mosquitoes you find. Repair at once all breaks or tears in your screens. FLA. STATE SANITARY CODE CHAPTER LILLI, Page U Never throw water or slop out through screens. Keep screen doors fitting snugly and self closing at all times. Keep inside of your screened home after sundown. If you get malaria, consults your physician. By keeping your house screened, you .keep out flies also, and flies can spread disease. Keep free of malaria and give your children the benefit of health in early life. If you-are not sick with malaria you have a better chance to earn a living and enjoy your life. Screens make your house a happier and healthier place to live. Use 16 or 18 mesh screens. THE BEST GRADE YOU CAN BUY. (Copper or Bronze if possible.) FLA.

FLORIDA STATE SANITARY CODE CHAPTER XXXIII Water Supply Wells (Reference is made to Compiled General Laws of Florida, Acts 1939. Chapter 19366, Section 2, and to Acts 1927, Section 3181-3134, 7737 and 7690 as amended 1939. These statutes place control of all waters of the State of Florida under the jurisdiction of the State Board of Health.) Se.ction (l) Definitions: (a) A well is any artificial opening in the ground designed to conduct water from a source bed to the surface when water from such well is used for public or semi-public consumption. (b) Source bed is the stratum or strata from which water is drawn in the well, (c) Casing is the tubular material utilized to shut off strata above the source bed and conduct water from the source bed to the surface, (d) Annular Space is the space between any two casings or between the outer casing and the walls of the hole, (e) Pollution is any matter which renders_ a water objectionable or dangerous to health. Section (2) Location. (a) Well sites shall bo on ground not subject to ponding or flooding. In general the slope of the ground surface in the vicinity of the well site shall be away from well, if-practical. For level areas, well-tamped or puddled earth shall be placed around the well so as to elevate the platform or apron. (b) As far as is practical, when the direction of ground water slope or movement is known, wells shall bo located on the upstream side of possible sources of pollution and as far from these sources as practical, (c) Every well shall be accessible for such attention as may be necessary. Section (3) Casing. (a) In wells in which the casing is driven it shall be of the type known as drive pipe, and shall be-equipped with couplings allowing for butt joints between lengths of casing. For wells in which the casing is,not- driven "merchant casing", standard pipe or pipe especially constructed for gravel wall wells will be acceptable. Either black or galvanized pipe shall bo acceptable. Any_other pipe proposed shall bo approved by the Chief Sanitary Engineer, Florida State Board of Health. FLA. STATE SANITARY CODE CHAPTER ffllll. Page 2. (b) Where telescoped casing is utilized, an approved water-tight seal shall bo made -whore increases or reductions occur in casing size. If proper seals are not made the inner casing'should.extend the entire cased depth. (c) Where water is obtained from limestone strata, casing must extend sufficiently far into unbroken limestone to be seated firmly in it and sealed with cement grout by an approved method. (d) Wells drilled by the rotary method shall have the annular space scaled by the use of a neat cement grout at the bottom of the hole and to the surface by neat cement mud, clay or other approved material. Section (4) Surface Seal. The top of the casing shall be so constructed as to exclude any influent into it. Section (5) Pump Pits. Where a pump pit is planned, it must be provided with a sump pump or other means for keeping the pit completely drained at all times. At the discretion of the Chief Sanitary Engineer of the State Board of Health two sump pumps may be required to guard against flooding in the event that one pump may fail. Section (6) Housing of Well Pump. Both well and pump shall be protected by a housing of adequate size having an impervious floor and weatMer-proof walls and roof. Section (?) Pump Connection. A water-tight connection shall be made between the outside casing top and the, drop pipe or discharge column. Section (B) Well Vent. Where provided, well vents shall be adequately protected. Section (9) Sampling Tap. A conveniently accessible, down-opening sampling tap shall be provided on the■discharge side of each well pump, so that samples of raw water may bo obtained from the well. Section (10) Sterilization. Every well shall bo, equipped with an opening which will allow introduction of sterilizing agents and measurement of static water level, drawdown, or artesian pressure. Before, a new well or one which has been repaired, is placed in use it shall be sterilized in accordance with the method approved by the Chief Sanitary Engineer of the Florida State Board of Health, and pumped clear of sterilizing agent. Samples of raw water from the well must be submitted to the Bureau of Laboratories of the State Board, of Health for bacterial analysis. Use of the well will not' be allowed until sat- isfactory results arc obtained. Section (11) Abandonment. Wells no longer in use shall be plugged in a manner approved by the Chief Sanitary Engineer of'the State Board of Health. Capping the casing top is insufficient. Section (12) Protection of VA-lls During Construction. Previous to placing pumps, wells under construction shall be protected at all times so as to prevent entrance of contaminating material. FLA. STATE SANITARY CODE CHAPTER XXXIII. Pa :e 3. Section (13) Infiltration Gallerys, etc. Dug wells, infiltration gallerys and other such sources of water supply requiring rearrangement of natural features are hereby prohibited as a source of public or semi-public water supply unless water is treated in a manner approved by the Chief Sanitary Engineer. Section (14) Dynamiting of Wells. The use of dynamite or other explosives in the construction or maintenance of wells is hereby prohibited. Section (15) Air Supply in Air-Lift Wells. If water from air-lift wells is not treated subsequently, the air supply utilized shall be protected from contam- inating influences by an approved method. Section (16) Application for Approval. Before entering into a contract for the use of a water supply well it shall be the responsibility of the well drilling contractor to make application to the Chief Sanitary Engineer of the Florida State Board of Health.
