GOODMAN MAIN STOPPER MFG. CO., INC.

The GOODMAN STOPPER was placed on the market in 1897 for use on distribution mains. It has been used in all parts of the United States and in many other countries.

It is made by men well trained in the art of making stoppers; some with more than forty years experience. The best quality materials are used in its construction.

Improvements made from time to time have resulted in easier manipulation. The Z-Handle simply, surely, and quickly places the Stopper in the correct position and the Patented Locking Sleeve locks the Stopper in the pipe and makes the shut-off secure against jarring.

Perfect operation of the Stopper is assured when the directions given are faithfully adhered to.

Look for the name "GOODMAN" on the Locking Sleeve. It is the mark of reliability.

Made in All Sizes 3" to 48"

NOTE: Above stoppers can be reconditioned at the factory, when necessary.

How to use The Goodman Stopper

FOUR EASY STEPS
HOW TO USE THE GOODMAN STOPPER

When you first use the Stopper, practice with an empty pipe that has been swabbed clean.

In order to remove the Stopper from the main, release wing nut on screw-rod and thumb screw on locking sleeve, raise on long handle and make fast; pull the Z handle toward you first, then push the long handle from you, thereby releasing the stopper, which when turned face down, is readily withdrawn by pulling on the Z handle only.

After using, the Stopper should be wiped clean. Before storing, coat the metal parts with oil or tallow. Store in a dry, cool place. Wrap in an air-tight cover.

Kept in Stock in Standard Sizes, 3" to 48"
