This little Giant Cellar Cleaner will raise 

 116 to 6500 gallons of water an hour from 

 3 to 18 feet, according to pressare. 



Vacuum Valve Note Its simplicity. Two 

 bolts unscrewed and off comes the entire 

 top with all working parts plain in view. 



You see there are no complicated parts, no 

 highly sensitive mechanism to continually 

 get out of order or be clogged up with the 

 least bit of sediment. 



Two or Three Little Things Worth Looking Into 



IT'S the little things that count. 

 Water in your cellar, for ex- 

 ample, is no little thing -but 

 we have a simple little thing that 

 will work while you sleep. 

 It's called a Cellar Cleaner. 



Sink a nail keg in the bottom of 

 your cellar, put the Cleaner in it, 

 connect up to your boiler and forget 

 it. Automatically day and night it 

 will be on the job, keeping your 

 cellar dry. Send for prices. 



Vacuum Valve 



The success of your vacuum heat 

 depends largely on the vacuum 

 valves.^ Therefore it's economy to 

 buy a valve you can depend on. 



Just such a valve is this Lord & 

 Burnham U-tube valve. 



Brass Expansion Joint for steam mains.

Three parts— two sleeves and a packing nut. 

 that's all there is to It-

Its construction is by far the 

 simplest on the market. 



It's that very simplicity that has 

 much to do with its dependableness. 



Price is right. 



Expansion Joints 



To take care of the give-and-take 

 on your steam mains, you will find 

 this brass expansion joint of ours 

 does the work exactly the way you 

 want the work done. 



If you prefer one of cast iron, we 

 have a design that is giving all 

 kinds of good service on many of 

 the large jobs. 



Here, then, are three Lord & 

 Burnham little things that do big 

 things.

same is true with hot water heating. 

 We infer that the trouble referred to 

 has come from having the boiler on a 

 level with the floor. 



PIPING A 2-ROOM ^REENHOUSE. 



We are building a smnll greenhouse, 

 as shown in the enclosed sketch. The 

 house runs east and west. It is 16x50 

 and is divided into two compartments, 

 each twenty-five feet long. There is 

 a potting shed, 8x16, at the east end, 

 and the boiler will be under this shed, 

 in a cellar seven feet deep. The house 

 has an uneven-span roof, with the long 



rafters on the south side. The north 

 wall is entirely of brick and is six feet 

 three inches high. The south wall is 

 four feet nine inches high and consists 

 of two feet three inches of brick and 

 two feet six inches of glass. The west 

 end has a door in the center, with a 

 brick wall two feet three inches high 

 at the south side of the door and three 

 feet three inches high at the north side 

 of it. The rest of the west gable is 

 glass. 



The compartment next to the potting 

 shed is to be heated to 60 degrees and 

 the west room will need a temperature 

 of 50 degrees. Will you kindly state 



the best method of heating this house 

 with hot water? We have about 300 

 feet of 1^-inch pipe and should like 

 to use it if possible. Please mention, 

 also, the size of boiler required. 



B. G. C— Pa. 



To give a temperature of 50 degrees 

 in the west half of the house, we would 

 run two 2-inch flow pipes through both 

 rooms, from the boiler to the west end 

 of the house. These flow pipes can be 

 carried on the wall plates and each of 

 them can be used to feed a coil of four 

 li^-inch pipes, placed either on the 

 side walls or under the side benches, and
