Warner & Swasey THE CLOTHMAKER CHECK YOUR W Plast A series of explosions in North Carolina and other states involving domestictype hot water heaters has brought a recommendation that employees check water heaters in their homes. All domestic - type water heaters in the Plants were inspected this month. Two recent explosions in North Carolina totally demolished two homes in which the heaters were located and seriously damaged adjacent houses. Other explosions have been reported in Virginia, South Carolina and Georgia. Investigations following the explosions point to a soft plastic dip tube as the cause of the explosions. The plastic tube has a relatively low melting point 300 to 350 degrees. If the tube After the I it* r - i-* cjvciy ioui years our nauon is ablaze with the fire of political frenzy as we go about the job of electing a president.

The careful inspection of company-owned hot water heaters includes the checking of the safety relief valve to make certain it is operable and not plugged, checking to see if the heaters have plastic dip tubes and checking of the thermostat. If the heaters are found to have plastic dip tubes the tubes are removed and copper tubing is installed. The dip tube is the tube inside the hot water heater which carries cold water through the tank before it is heated. On most hot water heaters, the cold water enters at the top of the tank and is carried through the dip tube to the bottom. Ball Is Over H50view . . . argue with friends and neighbors. It's interesting and exciting. But what happens when the inaugural ball is over? Most of us settle back and forget all about politics till the next election. Is this smart?

Extensive laboratory tests following explosions and near-explosions have shown that the plastic material would melt at temperatures less than the normal safety factor, and while in fluid form pass into piping systems and block safety and othervalves when cold water made it congeal. Most hot water supply or storage tanks manufactured within the last five years are equipped with the thermo plastic or thermoset plastic parts of the piping system within the tank. Older tanks probably do not have the plastic piping. ions that affect our pocketbooks . . . perhaps even our very lives. And most of us do little about it.
