Original text
<b>דין המושיט ידו לצנור ברשות הרבים לשתות. ובו סעיף אחד:</b><br>לא יעמוד אדם ברשות הרבי' ויחבר ידו למזחילה שהוא צנור ארוך מונח לאורך הגג בתוך ג' טפחים סמוך לגג ולקבל המים ממנה שכיון שהוא בתוך ג' סמוך לגג חשוב כגג ואסור בין אם הוא למעלה מעשרה או למטה מעשרה אבל מותר לקלוט מן האויר אפי' אם ידו תוך ג' למזחילה היתה מזחילה בולטת ג' מן הגג וכן סתם צנור שבולט ג' יכול לחבר ידו אליהם ולקבל המים וכגון שאין בהם ד' על ד' והן למטה מעשרה אבל אם יש בהן ד' על ד' או אפי' אין בהן ד' על ד' והן למעל' מעשרה אסור:
The Law of One Who Reaches Into a Pipe in the Public Domain to Drink: A person should not stand in the public domain and put his hands up to the gutter, which is a long pipe that is attached parallel to the roof and is three tefachim from the roof, to take water from it. Because it is three tefachim from the roof, it is considered like the roof and this is forbidden whether it is above ten tefachim from the ground or below. However, one is permitted to collect water from the air, even if his hand is within three tefachim of the gutter. If the gutter is three away from the roof, and same is true for a generic pipe that is three away, one may put his hands on them to collect water. This is if they are not four by four tefachim and they are below ten tefachim from the ground, but if they are four by four, or even if they are not four by four but are above ten, this is forbidden.
