with the flow, or flows, would be ten 

 2-inch returns, five of them on each side 

 wall, under the benches. Could I at- 

 tach two 2-inch flows to a Wilks boiler, 

 24x48? I think this boiler has only 

 one outlet. V. K. — Kan. 



For a Wilks boiler we would use a 

 3-inch flow pipe, running it about two 

 feet below the ridge, with the highest 

 point over the boiler. A slope of one 

 inch in ten feet will be ample. When 

 a boiler with two flow ports is used we 

 would, for a house of the stated size 

 and width, run a 2% -inch flow pipe upon 

 each plate or under the purlins. While 

 a radiation of 350 square feet is not too 

 large to be supplied by two 24nch flow 

 pipes, the number of returns necessary 

 will make it advisable to use two 2%- 

 inch flows, unless a single 3-inch flow 

 is used. 



From the amount of glass stated, we 

 infer that there must be about thirty 

 inches of glass below the plates. If a 

 minimum temperature of 55 degrees is 

 necessary in the coldest weather, it will 

 be advisable to use 350 square feet of 

 radiation, but if it will answer if the 

 temperature drops to 50 degrees in the 

 nights when it drops below zero out- 

 side, 300 square feet of radiation will 

 answer. 



Instead of running the returns along 

 the side walls only, we would drop down 

 two 21/' -inch pipes from the end of the 

 3-inch overhead flow pipe, and with 

 each of them feed a coil of five 2-inch 

 flow pipes running each way from the 

 middle of the end of the house to the 

 corners, and then along the side walls, 

 or under the side benches, back to the 

 boiler. It will be found satisfactory to 

 use li/l>-inch returns in a house of this 

 length, and in that case twelve returns 

 will be needed.
