PIPING AND GLAZING. 



I am building a house 15x60 to raise 

 beddiug stock and want to pipe it so thai 

 it can go several hours without attention. 

 1 intend to use overhead flows, with the 

 returns under the benches. I have a 

 hot water boiler rated at 3,000 feel of 

 glass. Which will give me better satis- 

 faction, 4-inch pipe or 2-inch? Will the 

 large boiler be all right or had I better 

 get a smaller one.' Which would you 

 advise, lapped or butted glass? 



C. C. G. 



I would give a decided preference for 

 2-ineh pipes for the circulating coils, ten 

 lines being required for the house fifteen 

 feet wide, with glass on the roof only. 

 The large boiler may be used, as with 

 reasonable eare it will prove economical 

 in fuel, and no blowing out of the water 

 need take place. Lapped glass will give 

 the tightest and best roof.

PIPING A HOUSE. 



How much 2-inch pipe will it take to 

 pipe a greenhouse 21x60, twelve feet to 

 ridge, glazed on one end and side ven- 

 tilators? The hot water boiler is at 

 the west end of the house. Wish a tem- 

 perature of 55 to 60 degrees when it is 

 20 below outside. H. M. B. 



Sixteen lines of 2-inch pipe will secure 

 the results sought. The distribution of 

 the pipes within the house will depend 

 upon the depth of the boiler pit and the 

 arrangement of the benches.

AMOUNT OF RADIATION. 



How much 2-inch pipe will be required 

 to heat a house 23x100, three-quarter 

 span, five-foot walls, glass in both ends 

 and ventilators at ridge and on south 

 side? When the thermometer is down to 

 10 degrees below zero outdoors, 60 de- 

 grees is required inside. M. D. 



Sixteen lines of 2-inch pipe will main- 

 tain the required temperature with hot 

 water. Henry W. Gibbons.
