Question:

>> Can anyone tell me how you tell the difference between a water stand pipe and a oil stand pipe...?

Hot Water replied:

>The most obvious difference is the overall diameter of the water stand pipe, which were at least double the diameter of the oil pipe.

On the SP, this was true in most cases but some locations had water stand pipes that were about the same diameter or smaller than oil stand pipes, such as seen in a photo posted on Trainorders taken at Friant, California: [www.trainorders.com]

The canvas sleeve below the spout in the photo is an identifier for this being a water stand pipe.
