"ring-guardable"


Explanation:
Completely off-the-wall guess, I'm afraid.
Just wondered if a "ring guard" could be fitted to these pipes.

Either that, or they can be made to behave in a way that seen to be outdated by their offspring ;-)

I see "Bourth" has come up with a completely plausible answer. I must admit I'd never heard of that meaning of "ringard" before.
Please take no notice of my musings.
I'll leave them up so others can have a laugh at my expense... it is Friday, after all!

capable of supporting tapping bars??


Explanation:
My technical dictionary (gorsau) gives 'ringard - tapping bar' which I think is and extra pipe part used to tap or draw off liquid. It is a bit of a stab in the dark to convert it to an adjective...
