at the north side, we would run the flow 

 pipes on the purlin posts, placing one 

 flow upon each of the two lines of posts. 

 At the farther end of the house connect 

 each of the two flows with five 2-inch 

 returns, to be carried on the walls, be- 

 ginning on the end of the house just 

 below where the flow pipe would touch 

 the east end of the house. In the lean- 

 to house use two 2^-inch flow pipes and 

 six 2-inch returns. 



There will be less than 700 square 

 feet of radiation in the two houses and 

 a boiler rated for 1,000 square feet will 

 be amply large. 



THE BOILER IS ABOVE GROUND. 



Will you please tell me what is the 

 best method of piping my greenhouse 

 for steam? Will you describe, also, the 

 best plan for heating it with hot 

 water? The house, as indicated in the 

 enclosed sketch, is 50x80 and runs east 

 and west, with the boiler at the north- 

 west corner. I have had rather poor 

 luck with the heating. The boiler is on 

 the ground level and has a capacity of 

 twenty-five horsepower. 



J. M. G.— Okla. 



To heat a house 50x80 to 60 degrees 

 with steam, we would run a 2-inch flow 

 pipe on each wall plate and a third 

 about four feet below the ridge. If, 

 as appears from the sketch, there are 

 really two houses, respectively thirty- 

 four and sixteen feet wide, another flow 

 pipe should be run under the middle 

 gutter. Each of these four flow pipes 

 should be used to feed four 1^/4 -inch re- 

 turns. One coil should be upon each 

 wall of the wide house and another 

 under the middle bench. The fourth 

 flow pipe, on the outer wall plate in the 

 narrow house, should also supply a coil 

 of four 114 -inch returns, placed either 

 on the wall or under the side bench. In 

 case there is a partition between the 

 houses, one-half of the return pipes at 

 that point should be in each room. 



For piping with hot water, we would 

 arrange the flow pipes in much the same 

 manner, but they should be 2i/^-inch. 

 For the return coils use twenty 2-inch 

 returns, arranged in four coils. In case 

 a temperature of 50 degrees would 

 answer in these houses, only twelve re-
