EXPANSION. 



I would like to ask about connecting 

 our boiler with city water. As it now 

 is vre have an expansion tank set on top 

 of the house, about twenty feet above 

 the boiler, with a supply pipe from the 

 city main. This tank is made of wood 

 and has got to leaking and the question 

 is should we abandon the tank alto- 

 gether and connect with the city water 

 direct? Or shou... we put up a eloseil 

 tank in place of the old one? Which 

 ■would you recommend? If you think a 

 closed tank would be best please tell us 

 how to make it. Would heavy galvanized 

 iron answer the purpose? i cannot see 

 why direct connection with the city main 

 would not do. '^aq city pressure is about 

 sixty pounds and our supply pipe %-ineh. 



J. W. M. 



Many plants using hot water under 

 pressure are connected directly with the 

 city mains. Unless the piping is all or 

 maleable iron, put together with thread- 

 ed joints, it will not be advisable to 

 adopt this system, as few hot water 

 plants or boilers are constructed to work 

 under sist.v pounds pressure. Your safest 

 plan would be to replace the present 

 leaky expansion tank with a galvanized 

 iron tank of proper size, similar to those 

 used for the storage of water heated 

 by a water front in a kitchen range. 

 These tanks range in size from fifteen 

 to 100 gallons and will probably prove 

 less expensive than a similar tank made 

 of any other metal. It will not be sat- 

 isfactory to tise a. closed tank. Even 

 if the hot water tank referred to be em- 

 ployed it must be provided with a small 

 vent pipe to allow for escape of air or 

 overflow in case too much water gets into 

 the system. L. C. C.
