back into the potable water supply, these devices require no
plumbing changes, and screw directly onto a sill cock.
Series 8 can be used on a wide variety of installations, such as
service sinks, swimming pools, photo developing tanks, laun-
dry tubs, wash racks, dairy barns, marinas and general outside
gardening uses.
