CLASSIFICATION OF LUBRICANTS
Before you use the tools and equipment in the installation of

pipes, you have to know first the types of lubricants to be used. In this
manner, you can prevent rusting and malfunctioning of the tools and
equipment.
There are four types of lubricants and these are:
1. liquid including emulsion and suspension;

2. solid;
3. grease; and
4. paste.
 Liquid lubricants – are known as lanolin natural water repellent

lanolin which is derived from wool grease and is a safe alternative
to the more common petrochemical based lubricants. These
lubricants are also preventive agents against inhibitors against
rust, salt and acids.
 Water can also be used on its own or as a major component with

one of the other base oils.
 Mineral oil is used to encompass lubricating base oil derived from

crude oil.
 Vegetable oil is primarily triglyceride esters derived from plants and

animals.
Purpose of Lubricating
Here are the advantages of lubricating the tools and equipment:
- Keeps moving parts apart.

- Reduces friction.
- Transfers heat.
- Carries away contaminant and debris.
- Transmits power.
- Protects against wear.
- Prevents corrosion.

GENERAL SAFETY IN WORKING AREA
General Safety Practices
Safety practices important part in performing one’s job because

keeping in mind will prevent accidents. In relation to this, safe work
habits acquired now will be useful in years to come. The following are
reminders that will guide you in practicing safety measures in the
working area.
1. Always think “safety first” before performing an operation.

2. Wear safety goggles, or a face shield in the danger zones or
other designed area.
3. Report even the slightest injury; small cuts or other minor
injuries may become serious if left unattended. Inform your
teacher immediately.
4. Notify your teacher of any unsafe conditions observed. This may
include such things as dull tools and frayed electrical cords.
5. Keep the floor clear of scraps of materials.
6. Place clamped stock so it will not fall. Make sure the clamps do
not extend into pathways.
7. Place all used rags in a metal fireproof container.
8. Close vise handle so they do not protrude into the aisles.
However, do not tighten them.
9. Stay alert! Keep your mind on the operation of the machine all
the time. Do not talk to anyone while operating machine.
10. Ask for assistance prior to the cutting long or heavy piece.
11. Wear safe clothing. Make sure you button your shirt, and ware
your shoes or sneakers. Do not wear jewelry. If you have long
hair tie it back.
12. Respect the right of others and their property.
13. Wear ear protection when operating tools with high noise
levels.
14. Be sure everyone is out of danger zone around a machine
before beginning an operation.
15. Ask your teacher for permission before using machines.
26
PREVENTING SLIPS
Slips occur when there’s too little friction between your feet and
the ground. Common causes of slips are wet surfaces, weather
hazards and loose soil or ground. Slips often happen when you’re
distracted or in a hurry but they can be prevented. Here are the
following examples of accidents that normally occur if an individual is
careless:
On The Job
Constantly wet surfaces

Some jobs have work surfaces that
are always wet. You may slip on a
wet surface if you turn sharp
corners quickly or don’t pay
attention to where you’re going.
Walking too quickly or taking long
steps may cause you to slip. Another
common problem is wearing slippery
shoes that don’t give you much
friction.
Occasional spills
Even a minor coffee or water spill
can be dangerous. You could slip if
you walk with your hands in your
pocket instead of keeping them free
for balance. Moreover, slipping
often happens if you’re in a hurry.
Weather Hazards
Weather hazards are present in
cold countries. You slip if you
don’t take extra care when
walking outside or if you’re
wearing smooth soled or high-
heeled shoes with little friction.
27
SELF-CHECK # 2.2
I. True or False
Directions: Write T if the statement is true and F if it is false.
1. Safety goggles must be worn anytime the power tools are being
used in the work area.
2. Ear protection should be worn when operating tools with high
noise level.
3. Loose clothing should be worn around when operating power
tools.
4. Pant’s pockets are designed to carry sharp tools to prevent
damage to the cutting edge.
5. The dust collection system is a large vacuum that should only
be operated at clean-up time.
6. Certain glues and most finishes are toxic. Prolonged exposed to
their fumes should be avoided.
7. Used rags should be placed in the metal container except when
in use.
8. Tools should be returned to their storage location after use.
9. When debris accumulates on the floor it should be put into the
trash container.
10. Mirror cuts and splinters need not be reported to the teacher.
28
Directions: Form groups of three and do the following task.
1. Make a safety poster showing a good workplace.
2. Tour in the shop room to determine any potential safety hazards. If

you find any hazards, analyze what should be done to correct the
situation.
3. Research various types of fire extinguisher A, B, C, and D. Create a

chart that lists the types and purpose of each type of extinguisher.

BLUEPRINTS
Blueprint is a thick paper having white line drawings shown against a

deep-blue background. Blueprints are the working drawings which the
architects prepare as a guide to the construction of houses and some other
related works in the construction such as electrical and plumbing. There are
seldom, if ever, any detail of the required plumbing system given other than
those which show the fixture symbols in their proper places and the location
of partitions through which pipes are to be run.
Designing the piping systems must be done by the plumbing

contractors before they can make estimates and own such jobs or install the
systems. The blueprints should be studied so that a perfect visualization of
the entire system and its complete details can be obtained. All of which
must be considered as the design of the plumbing system.
In case some of the items in the blueprint are not properly indicated,
written specifications are provided to help the one reading the blueprints
understand the given plan more clearly. Written specifications as well as the
blueprint should be studied carefully and every item indicated should be
given extreme attention.
Some specifications are also shown on the blueprint in the form of

notes. Those notes are as important as any of the symbols, plans or items in
the written specification.

5S IMPLEMENTATION
5S is a systematized approach to organize work areas to keep rules

and standards, and to maintain the discipline needed to do a good job.
It utilizes workplace organization and work simplification techniques
to make work easier, faster, cheaper, safer and more effective.
The practice of 5S develops positive attitude among workers and
cultivates an environment of efficiency, effectiveness and economy. In short
5S is the practice of good housekeeping.
5S represents five Japanese words, which are translated below:
Japanese Literal English General Translation
 Seiri Sort Organization

 Seiton Systematize Orderliness
 Seiso Sanitize (Sweep) Cleanliness
 Seiketsu Standardize Standardized clean up
 Shitsuke Self-discipline Discipline
The five Japanese words are further defined below:
 SEIRI (SORT) - Sort out unnecessary items and dispose them

properly
 SEITON - Arrange necessary items in good order so that they

(SYSTEMATIZE) can be easily picked up for use
 SEISO (SWEEP) - Clean your workplace completely so that there is no

dust on floor, machinery and equipment
 SEIKETSU - Maintain high standards of workplace organization

(STANDARDIZE) and housekeeping at all times
 SHITSUKE (SELF- - Do things spontaneously without being told or

DISCIPLINE) ordered
9
The first 4S namely Seiri, Seiton, Seiso and Seiketsu are techniques
and actions to make a workplace organized. However, Shitsuke is a
condition in which all members practice the 4S continously, spontaneously
and wittingly.
With the implementation of 5S, a clean and well-organized workplace
is ensured. The following are the benefits of implementating 5S;
 Delivery is on time.
 Safety for people is assured.
 Morale of the workers is built.
 Results are visible to everyone.
 People are automatically disciplined.
 Resultant good image of the organization generate more business and
positive impression to the public.
As different persons are found in the workplace, 5S also aims to

provide benefits to them. These benefits can be remembered through the
following acronyms:
 C - improves Creativity of people
 C - improves Communication among people
 H -
improves Human Relations among people
 R -
 C - improves Comradeship among people
 V - gives Vitality to people

SPECIFICATIONS AND MATERIALS USE
There are numerous kinds of materials available for plumbing

installation but not all of these materials will be used in one plumbing
system installation. The choice on the kind of the pipe to be installed
depends upon the following considerations:
1. Quality and durability

2. Resistance to external and internal contact with foreign matters
3. Resistance to acid waste and other chemical elements that will pass
into it
4. Cost of materials and labor
Sometimes a combination of two or more types of plumbing

materials are used to suit the purpose intended for the installation, while
availing of the advantages it offers to plumbing.
GALVANIZED STEEL PIPE
Galvanized steel pipe is made out from mild steel, drawn through a
die and welded, cast into 6.00 meters long. This type of pipe is easily
corroded by alkaline and acid water, attack the zinc coating and ultimately
the steel itself. It is subjected to deposits of salt and lime that gradually
accumulate and finally choke the flow of water. Galvanized steel pipe
deteriorates faster when used as hot water supply line.
GALVANIZED WROUGHT IRON PIPE
Galvanized wrought iron pipe is better in quality than the steel pipe
for plumbing installation. Tests showed that wrought iron pipe is more
resistant to acid waste than the steel pipe.
Fittings are parts used to join together two sections of pipe, such as
elbows, couplings, bushings, bends wyes, etc. Fittings for steel pipes are
made form malleable iron which can be bent and/or shaped to a certain
extent without causing any damage.
These are the different types of pipe fittings used for threaded pipe
joints and connection and their uses.
19
1. Bushing is used to reduce the size of a coupling or fitting which is
inserted to eliminate the need for replacement of a complete joint.
2. Cap is used at the end of a pipe line to close it off.
3. Coupling is more or less a permanent fitting that is used for joining

two pipes of the same diameter.
4. Cross is a fitting with four openings at 90-degree angles to each other.
5. Elbows are fittings used in changing the direction of the pipe in

plumbing installation.
3 KINDS OF ELBOWS FOR THREADED PIPE JOINTS AND

CONNECTIONS
a. 90-degree elbow – change the direction at a 90-degree bend.

b. 45-degree elbow – change the direction at a 45-degree bend.
c. Straight elbow
6. NIPPLE is used when joining/connecting short sections of pipe line.

There are three kinds of nipple:
a. long nipple
b. short nipple
c. close nipple
7. PLUG is used to close the female ends of the fittings.
8. TEE it is used to connect/join one pipe to two others at a 90-degree

angle.
9. REDUCING TEE is used to join three pipes of different sizes together.
10. REDUCING COUPLING is used when connecting two pipes of

different sizes. It can be compared to the adapter used in copper
connections.
11. UNION is used or installed where a section of the installation need to

be disassembled oftentimes. This fitting is to be disassembled first
when there is repair and expansion of plumbing installation.

TYPES OF PIPING CONNECTIONS
There are various types of piping connections used in the

installation of a plumbing system to suit the needs of a particular plumbing
installation. Each of the piping connection has its own fittings and materials
to make the installation as easy as possible and quality of work be achieved.
These are the types of piping connections commonly used in the

installation of a plumbing system.
1. Cast iron piping connection is the most popular piping connection for
drainage system for buildings less than 25 storey high for the
past several decades.
2. Asbestos piping connection is used for soil, waste, ventilation and

downspout. This kind of pipe is remarkably superior for
embedment in concrete structure for having the same material
properties.

Perform Piping Layout

A. Mensuration
Measuring Pipes and Fittings
Introduction:
It takes practice and experience to be able to determine all the

pipes and fittings you will need before starting a job. In buying your
supplies; therefore, be knowledgeable of the kinds of pipes and fittings
you will use for a job.
Plumbing dimensions aren’t necessarily what they appear to be.

A plastic pipe with a 7/8- inch outside diameter, for instance, is
actually called a ½- inch inside pipe because it has a ½ - inch inside
diameter (I.D.). Pipes usually are sized according to their inside
diameter (I.D.). This dimension is also called the nominal size.
If you are unsure about getting the right material, specify the
measurement of the inside diameter (I.D.) for most pipes.
If you can measure the inside dimension, your job becomes

easier.
Holding a ruler against a pipe will give you only a rough idea of
the outside diameter. Instead, use a string or a set of calipers for a
more exact measurement. Once you find the outside dimension, use
the chart “Measurement: Pipe Dimensions” to find the nominal size.
Fitting can be just as confusing. Their inside diameters must

be large enough to fit over the pipes outside diameter. A ½ - inch
plastic elbow for example, has an outside diameter of about 1 ¼
inches.
As a rule of thumb, for plastic pipe, measure the outside

diameter (0D) and subtract 3/8 inch for threaded and cots iron pipe,
subtract ¼ inch.
Another mathematical pitfall for a novice plumber is measuring

the length of a pipe that runs from one fitting to the next fitting. Pipes
must be fully extended into fixture and fitting sockets; otherwise the
joint may leak. Socket depths vary from one pipe size and material to
3
another, so you must account for the depth of each fittings socket in
the total length of pipe needed between fittings.
B. Blueprint Reading
Blueprints are the working drawings that serve as the worker’s

guide in a particular project. The blueprint shows the various floor
plans the locations of all fixtures and the partitions where pipes are to
be run. The plans indicated should be followed exactly unless
obstacles arise. In this case, the architect or the skilled plumber
should be consulted before any changes are made.
The blueprints should be studied so that a perfect visualization

of the entire system and its structural details can be obtained. All of
these must be considered the plumbing system to be carried on.
Part of the blueprint is the written specification to supplement

design/details as well as to give instruction and explanation. These
written specifications should be studied as carefully as the blueprints
and every noted with extreme care.
Some of the plumbing specifications
Execution of Contract is the complete carrying out of the task as per

job requirements.
Extra Labor is the service rendered beyond the contract.
Bids are the owner reserves the right to reject any or all proposals
based on the specifications or drawings. He may accept any proposals
in part or whole.
Scope of the work refers to the range of the work when the contractor
shall complete a plumbing system as shown on the drawing and
specified in the specification according to the building and plumbing
codes:
1. Isometric drawing showing layout of storm drain
2. Isometric drawing showing layout of soil stack wastes and vents
3. Isometric drawing of sink and laundry tray waste and vent pipes

ROUGH-IN PROCEDURE
Rough-in is the installation of all parts of the plumbing system

which can be completed prior to the installation of fixtures. This
includes drainage, water supply, vent piping, and the necessary
fixture supports. The procedure for roughing-in are as follows:
1. Plan the location of the fixtures carefully on your floor plan.

2. Mark your floors and walls for the rough-in dimensions.
3. Use masking tape or a carpenter’s pencil for masking. Rough-in
dimension of fixtures vary depending upon the shape, type,
style and design. These illustrations give you the idea on the
manner of marking the rough-in dimensions.
4. Install the fixtures such as toilet, shower and bath tub using
the necessary tools.
5. See to it that drain-waste-vent lines are running their
destinations.
Note:
For more rough-in dimensions for fixtures refer to plumbing
Design and Estimate by Max B. Fajardo Jr., 2nd Edition Chapter 15 –
Plumbing Fixtures.
If you are remodeling a room that you don’t want to mark, use
sticky-back notes to mark the walls. This won’t fall off the wall over
time and won’t damage wall paper or paint. It also helps to place the
fixtures on the floor and outline them. Take care to consider the
placement of cabinets when laying out the water supply and drain
cleanouts. Position the cabinets to where they will be installed before
completing the supply and drain pipe layouts. When the layout is
completed, measure and adjust the arrangement until all fixtures
meet the minimum clearance specifications of the manufacturer.

LO 1. Perform Piping Lay out Rough-in Procedure
Introduction:
The rough-in dimension of water closets is based from the

center line of the outlet to the finish wall line. Different types of water
closets come in different measurements of center lines of outlets.
Nowadays, comfort rooms are generally made of concrete floors

and walls. Therefore, the rough in of the water closet should be done
prior to the pouring of the concrete flooring. The following are tools
and materials needed to perform roughing-in:
Tools and materials

 Tape measure
 Pencil
 Auger bit and brace
 Spirit level
 Claw hammer
 Drainage pipe
 Water closet
 Plywood concrete form
 Common wire nails
Procedure:
 Determine the rough-in measurement of the water closet to be
installed based on the manufacturer’s manual specification.
 From the proposed finish wall line behind the water closet to be
installed, mark the center of the outlet on the plywood concrete
floor form for the proposed concrete floor.
 From the mark on the plywood form, make a circular hole in the
outside installation diameter of the pipe, to be used in the
installation.
 Cut pipe with a diameter equal to the hole made in the flooring
form around 30 centimeters or 12 inches.
 Fit the cut pipe into the hole on the concrete form extending at
least 4 inches below the floor line.
9
 Check the plumpness of the pipe using a spirit level.
 Secure the pipe properly by nailing short pieces of lumber

around it underneath.
 Cover the top of the pipe to avoid the entrance of foreign objects.
 While doing the concreting process, be careful not to damage or

misalign the pipes.

11
Not all the specified materials will be used in one plumbing

system installation. The kind of pipe to be installed depends upon the
following considerations:
1. Quality and durability

2. Resistance to external and internal contact with foreign matters
3. Resistance to acid waste and other chemical elements that will
pass into it
4. Cost of materials and labor
Sometimes a combination of two or more types of plumbing

materials are used to suit the purpose intended for the installation,
while availing of the advantages it offers to plumbing. Listed below
are some common materials used in plumbing with specification.
Common materials with their specifications
Cast Iron Pipe is durable, easy to install ad answer to the most

plumbing needs of all types of buildings less than 25 storey high.
Buildings taller than 25-storey do not specify the use of cast iron pipe
because of constant vibrations which cause water leak of the pipe
joints.
Acid Resistant Cast Iron Pipe is kind of pipe is made from alloy of cast
iron and silicon. It is widely used in chemical laboratories, industries
and other installations where acid water is being discharged.
Asbestos pipe is made of asbestos, fibers and Portland cement. The

thickness of the pipe is twice as that of the standard cast iron pipe.
This kind of pipe is remarkably superior for embedding in concrete
structure.
Bituminous Fiber Sewer Pipe is the cheapest among the sewer pipe and
sometimes recommended for house sewer and for septic tank
installation. It is slightly flexible. It can take slight soil movement
without cracking or breaking off from its joint. However, excessive hot
water or chemical flow may soften or damage the pipe.
Vitrified Clay Pipe is one of the oldest materials used for sewer lines. It
is made out from clay, cast into length of 75 centimeters treated with
glazing compound. The pipe is heated in a large kiln under a
temperature of 1370°C, making it imperious to moisture.
12
Clay Pipe is highly resistant to most acid wastes. It is a durable
material for underground installations like public sewer, house sewer
or storm drain. It should not be laid on unstable ground base.
Lead pipe is also one of the oldest plumbing materials used by the
Egyptian, the Greek and the Roman builders as soil and waste pipe.
Lead is highly resistant to acid and is suitable for underground
installation. It is never used to transmit water for human
consumption.
Galvanized Steel Pipe is made out from mild steel, drawn through a
die and welded cast into 6.00 meters long. This type of pipe is easily
corroded by alkaline and acid water. The carbonic acid in water,
attack the zinc coating and ultimately the steel itself. It is subject to
deposits of salt and lime that gradually accumulate and finally choke.
Galvanized steel pipe deteriorates faster when used hot water supply
line.
Galvanized Wrought Iron Pipe is better in quality than the steel pipe for
plumbing installation. Tests showed that wrought iron pipe is more
resistant to acid waste than the steel pipe.
Brass pipe- is one of the most expensive types of pipe which is made
of an alloy of zinc and copper mixed at 15% and 85% proportion
respectively. Because of its smooth interior surface and high
resistance to acid, brass pipe became superior material for waste and
water supply installations.
Copper Pipe is durable and extremely corrosive resistant material. It

is easy to install compared with the other types of pipe.
Comparatively, copper pipe cost less than the steel pipe, but its
fittings cost less than the steel pipe because of its very smooth interior
surfaces. One size smaller pipe could be used without substantial
reduction of liquid flow.
When used in installing hot water line, the use of bigger pipe should
be avoided because heat loss on larger pipe is higher than on a
smaller one.
Plastic or synthetic pipes has gained widespread acceptance after it

has been proven itself to be superior sewer and cold water pipe line.
The Polyethylene (PE) and Polybutylene (P.B.) are flexible types of

plastic pipes. The P.E. and P.B. tubes are in coil form available at 30
meters long. The P.B. tube is manufactured with special length up to
150 meters long in coil form.
13
Advantages of Plastic Pipe
1. Plastic pipe is more resistant to rust and corrosion.
2. Water conveyed by plastic pipe has no pipe tastes.
3. The extreme smooth interior surface prevents the build up of

scale, rust and foreign material that often impedes flow through
metallic pipes.
4. There is no turbulence of water; therefore it has a minimum

resistance to flow.
5. PVC pipes and fittings weigh about 1/5 of the metal pipe are
easily installed through solvent cementing.
6. Plastic pipes are cost in longer length; they are easy to cut as
well as to install.
7. PVC pipe can be connected to existing metal pipe using a

threaded adapter.
8. PVC pipe is virtually acid proof to any chemical used in

recommended strengths around the home.
9. No special tools are needed for installing PVC except a rule to

measure and a saw to cut.
10. You can do it yourself!

INFORMATION SHEET #1.5
Masonry Works and Procedures
Masonry is the art of constructing buildings and other

structures with stones, gravel, bricks, concrete, blocks and other
materials. When doing repair on damaged pipes embedded in
concrete floors and walls. The plumber should also have knowledge in
masonry work so that the portion of the floor or wall will be restored
to its final condition for sanitation and aesthetic properties.
Therefore, the plumber should be skillful enough to perform masonry
works.
A plumber should be knowledgeable of the following terms of

masonry work according to the job specifications.
Concrete is the proportioned mixture of Portland cement, sand,

gravel and water. In its plastic state (newly mixed), the mixture can
be molded to any desired shape. Through chemical changes that took
place, the mixture becomes as hard as stone when it dries up.
Cement is the material used for concreting. It is called Portland

cement. Cement when mixed with water, acts as the bonding material
for the aggregates. Cement should not store in damp places r exposed
to moisture because it hardens and then is not available to be used.
Aggregates are the general term given for materials in concrete.

Sources of good aggregates are from riverbanks and crushed
specifically sand and gravel.
Fine Aggregates refer to seashore sand is not suited for

concreting because of its even fineness and salt content that prevent
good bonding of the cement.
Sand be clean and should face from vegetable matter, clay and
dust because they prevent the good bonding that results to weak
structure.
Coarse Aggregates are gravel to be used in concrete work should

be sizes above ¼ inch. The size of gravel depends upon the size of the
concrete work. The gravel to be used is ¼ to 1/3 the thickness of the
concrete and could be able to pass readily between the reinforcements
and the concrete forms.
Water is liquid to be used in mixing concrete. It should be clean

and fit for drinking. Dirty water prevents good bonding.

MASONRY WORK AND PROCEDURES

POURING CONCRETE
Pouring concrete on a flat surface is a very easy task to tackle

especially when the area is small. The edges of the four corners of the
opening served as the form for the fresh concrete to be poured.
Directions: Using the materials and tools pouring concrete (materials:

cement, sand, gravel, water; tools: shovel/shade, pail, wooden float,
steel float and pointed trowel), do the following procedure:
Procedure:
 Replace the soil that was taken out from the hole.
 Fill the hole with gravel and compress it done leaving around 4
inches below the floor line.
 Pour water on top of the gravel and level the surface with a
wooden float.
 Prepare the concrete materials using a proportion of 1:2:4.
 Determine the volume of the hole which is equal to the volume
of the gravel and sand mixed together.
 Compute the total volume of concrete materials in relation to
hole area excavated.
 Make a hole at the middle of the mound of the materials.
 Calculate the amount of water just enough to wet the aggregates
and meet the cement.
 Mix the materials thoroughly.
 Pour the mixture on top of the hole.
 Spread the concrete over the hole leaving around one (1) inch
from the floor line.
 Level the top of the concrete.
 Pour little water on top of the hardened concrete.

OPERATION SHEET #2.1
In cutting a damaged portion of the water supply system of

galvanized iron pipe embedded in a concrete wall or floor, the
operation is more difficult and different compared to the cutting of G.I.
pipes.
Directions: Using the tools for cutting galvanized iron pipe (Rotary
Pipe Cutter, Tape measure, Pipe measure and Hack saw), do the
procedure:
Procedure for cutting damage portion of pipes:
 Upon identifying the damaged portion of the pipe to be cut,

measure at least 6 inches centered on the damage. This length
is good enough for the stock and dies to be inserted into the
pipe ends on the process of threading them after cutting.
 Using the rotary pipe cutter, position it on the mark where the
cut is to be done.
 Follow the procedure in cutting G.I pipe, the only difference is
that the cutter could only swing in a limited angle making it
harden to cut.
 Ream the ends of the cut pipe to clean it.
Tools used for cutting damaged portion of pipes:
1. Pipe reamer is a spiral-shaped file which has turning handle

or may also be fitted in a brace.
2. Ratcheting bitstock can be lacked and turned in full

resolutions and is quite useful in hard-to-reach areas. It has
a ratchet locked in one direction or the other and it doesn’t
go to the opposite side unless it is moved.
3. Auger bits come in varying sizes is used for cutting through

small holes the sizes vary from ¼ inch to 1 inch in diameter
in increments of 1/16 inch. If larger holes are desired an
adjustable expansive bit can be fitted to a bitstock.
4. Hack saw is commonly used for cutting metal.
5. Chisels can be used to notch away a portion of a stud or

rafter to allow the passage of pipeline.
