| 1. A brick burned on one end to a darker color than the face. 2. A header of darker color than the field of the wall
|
| Fitting used to clamp tubing flare against another fitting.
|
| An enlargement at the end of a piece of flexible tubing by which the tubing is connected to a fitting or another piece of tubing; this enlargement is made at about a 45 degree angle; fittings grip it firmly to make the joint leakproof and strong.
|
| A detail in which a sheet of resilient flooring is turned up at the edge and finished against the wall to create an integral baseboard.
|
| Instantaneous evaporation of some liquid refrigerant in evaporator which cools remaining liquid refrigerant to desired evaporation temperature.
|
| The temperature at which the material gives off flammable vapor in sufficient quantity to ignite momentarily on the application of a flame under specified conditions.
|
| The rapid development of rigidity in a mixed portland cement paste, mortar, or concrete usually with the evolution of considerable heat, which rigidity cannot be dispelled nor can the plasticity be regained by further mixing without addition of water; also referred to as Quick Set or Grab Set.
|
| Resistance type weld in which mating parts are brought together under considerable pressure while a heavy electrical current is passed through the joint to be welded.
|
| In welding. a recession of the flame into or back of the mixing chamber of the torch.
|
| In masonry, metal flashing used to block a parapet wall and prevent roof leaks around such a wall.
|
| A plastic mixture of cutback bitumen and mineral stabilizers, asbestos fibers or other inorganic fibers, used for reinforcing, mixed with a solvent and used as an adhesive.
