PIPING. 



Please tell me the best way to pipe my 

 greenhouse for hot water heating. I 

 have an upright flue boiler and the bot- 

 tom of boiler is two feet below floor of 

 greenhouse. Can I use 1-inch pipe for 

 hot water heating? House is 20x20 ft.. 

 and 7 ft. 4 in. to ridge; Two feet of the 

 sides are glass. Rafters are 6 ft. long. 



A. R. ^ 



In reply to A. R., to heat the ridge and 

 furrow greenhouse 20x20. as described. 

 by hot water, take a 2-inoh flow from the 

 top of the boiler, branching into two li- 

 inch, then run IJ-inch down the grade 

 in each ridge to the far end. taking oft' one 

 IJ-ineh connet-tion at the far end of the 

 center bench and continuing IJ-inch t<> 

 the doorway, then drop and then connect 

 to the coils nnder the side benches. For 

 coils, use l:J-inch pipe, six IJ-inch pipes 

 under each of the side benches and four 

 IJ-inch pipes under each side of the cen- 

 ter bench, making twenty l^-inch pipes 

 in all. 



Make return connections at the boiler 

 end of the houBe of same sizes as the 

 flow, and return to the boiler at the bot- 

 tom; make a connection from tlie re- 

 turn pipe near the boiler to the expan- 

 sion tank, which must be placed at a 

 higher level than the ridge of the green- 

 house, providing air vent at the top of 

 the rising flow main over the boiler, as 

 this would be the highest point in the 

 apparatus, all pipes grading downward 

 from here back to tlie boiler. Probably. 

 the most convenient form of air vent 

 would be to make an l^i-ineh pipe con- 

 nection from the top of the flow main 

 into the top of the tank.
