Inside leaders shall be constructed of cast iron, wrought iron
or steel, with roof connections made gas-and water-tight by

tubing must slip at least 7 inches into the pipe. Outside

feet above grade level, where the building is located along
public driveways or sidewalks. Where the building is located
off building line, and not liable to be damaged the connection
shall be made with iron pipe extending 1 foot above the grade
level.
All leaders must be trapped with running traps of cast iron,
so placed as to prevent freezing.
Rain leaders must not be used as soil, waste or vent pipes,
nor shall such pipes be used as rain leaders.

Such pipes shall discharge into a tank or condenser, from

condenser shall be supplied with water, to help condensation
and help protect the sewer, and shall also be supplied with
relief vent to carry off dry steam.
