Since th e flexible pipe can be
"sn ak ed o u t” in any kind ot
trench, no m a tte r how crooked, it
saves q u ite a bit of th e cost of

and ru b b e r m a n u fa tu re rs have
clim bed onto th e band w agon

be used v ery sucessfully in m any
farm piping jobs. H owever, one
should be su re to check the g u a r
