Using L-M Permaline

bitumized fibre pipe, a 3-man crew with a shovel operator completes 15 to 1 8 house-to-street sewer installations per 8-hour day at Levittown, Pa. The resulting time and labor saving, along with the use of other modern materials and methods, is reflected in values such as that shown in the attractive 2400-square-foot de luxe Country Clubber at $17,500, shown below.

Permaline Sewer Pipe saves Levitt installation time and handling costs

In Levittown, Pa., Levitt & Sons, Inc., has used 624,000 feet of L-M Permaline pipe for house-to-sewer installations during the past two years. Permaline is now used exclusively. These installations consist of 3* x 8' Permaline bituminized fibre pipe, laid in a trench dropping from 2½ feet at the house to 7 to 9 feet maximum at the property line. Lines vary from 52 to 210 feet, with an average of about 60 feet.

"Ease of handling and installation" are the primary reasons for using Permaline pipe, according to Levitt & Sons' superintendent of sewer construction. A three-man crew with a shovel operator makes 15 to 18 complete house installations a day. The result is "a considerable time and labor saving."

Levittown, at the big bend of the Delaware River just above Philadelphia, is perhaps the most significant development in the postwar building era. Now representing some 12,000 homes with a population of 46,000, Levittown eventually will include 17,000 houses with about 70,000 residents. Use of Permaline. pipe and other modern materials and methods makes possible the excellent values Levitt & Sons, Inc., offers the public in Levitt homes.
