Section 765 in Rules under the United Provinces Excise Act, 1910
765. Working of cocks on charging and discharge pipes of receivers.
- Both the charging and the discharge pipes of receivers must be fitted with cocks which can be locked. The cock on the charging pipe must be shut and locked whenever that on the discharge pipe is open and vice versa, except when both are required to remain open simultaneously for repairs for other proper reason, in which case either the whole apparatus must be disengaged from the still and be so secured and locked, that it cannot be used again until the officer-in-charge has removed the lock, or the still itself must be locked up so that it cannot be used. When spirit runs from the receiver into the warehouse, use discharge cock of the receiver is to be frequently tested to see that it does not permit any leakage when shut, by shutting for half an hour or longer the inlet cocks at the vats while spirit is collecting in the receiver, ascertaining whether any accumulation takes place in the pipe. The date of such tests and their results should be entered in the diary.
