ample for the conditions to be met, 

 but we prefer to use 214-inch flow 

 pipes where more than four 2-inch re- 

 turns are to be supplied. In that case 

 it would be possible to use one less 

 return pipe. We would not care to 

 place valves upon more than two of 

 the returns on each side of the house, 

 but would place a valve on the pipes 

 supplying the coils, which can be used 

 to check the circulation as needed. 



MUST THE TANK BE MOVED? 



I have moved my boiler to the east 

 end of one of my greenhouses, about 

 fifty feet from where it was. The ex- 

 pansion tank at present is near my of- 

 fice and above the place where the 

 boiler formerly stood. The tank was, 

 and still is, about four feet higher than 

 the highest hot water point. Will it be 

 necessary to move the expansion tank 

 out over the boiler, or can I use it where 

 it is, as it is higher than the highest 

 point of the hot water piping? I want 

 to run the %-inch pipe from the tank 

 to the boiler just under the ridgepole of 

 the greenhouse. I have city water pres- 

 sure. I should like to get the needed in- 

 formation as soon as possible, before I 

 build my boiler shed. E. T. O.— 111. 



The description of the plant is not as 

 definite as it might be, and we cannot 

 determine just where the expansion tank 

 is connected with the heating system, 

 or whether the flow pipes run uphill 

 or downhill. We would suggest con- 

 necting the expansion tank with the 

 highest point of the system and it is 

 preferable to have the flow pipe run 

 downhill. In that case the attachment 

 is generally not far from the boiler. 



While a pipe may be run from the 

 boiler in its present location to the ex- 

 pansion tank, we would prefer to carry 

 it some distance below the ridge, so 

 that there would be no danger of its 

 freezing in extremely cold weather. But 

 it is desirable to have the tank as di- 

 rectly over the boiler as possible.
