BOILER AND PIPING. 



1 have two detached greenhouses run- 

 ning north and south, north end pro- 

 tected by shed. One house is 18x75, 

 three-foot side walls, eleven feet to ridge, 

 scaith end glass. In this house are two 

 four-foot benches on the sides and a 

 solid bed in the center. Under each bench 

 there arc two flows and two returns for 

 hot water, all .3-inch. The other 

 house is 11x60. eight feet to ridgC, three- 

 foot side walls. There is no glass in 

 ends or walls. There is a two-foot bendi 

 on each side and a solid bed in center. 

 There are two 3-ineh pipes all aroiind. 

 The houses are used for miscellaneous 

 stock. I am thinking of putting in a 

 tubular steam boiler to nse for hot 

 water. It is eight feet long by three feet 

 wide, with twenty-two 3-inch tubes, rated 

 at eighteen horse-power. Can I heat 1,000 

 feet of 3-inch pipe with it. boiler tubes 

 connected with sleeve couplings packed 

 witli cement and oakum? How many 

 and what size of outlets and inlets will 

 be required on the boiler? If the don'e 

 is not removed, would vou take the flow«! 

 out of it? ' H. R. B. 



The outlet and intake openings in tlie 

 boiler should be 4-inch. If the boiler 

 has a dome, by aU means take the flow 

 pipe from the top or side of the dome 

 and bring the return to the under side t f 

 the shell near the rear. Tee boiler will 

 easily carry 1,000 feet of 3-inch hot-water 

 pipe; in fact, it has capacity to cmt- 

 1,500 lineal feet of 3-inch pipe' when fireiJ 

 to its full capacity. The piping in th'^ 

 larger house is sufficient, but the house 

 sixty feet long cannot be maintained at 

 60 degrees during severe weather with 

 the amount of piping provided. If, hov.- 

 ever, one length (sixty feet) can be 

 added along the most exposed side, the 

 above noted temperature can be main- 

 taind under ordinary condition.-;
