pipe from each outlet directly to the 

 main flow pipe. In a similar way, two 

 3-inch main returns should connect with 

 the boiler, although if there is only one 

 inlet it will answer if the two returns 

 are connected close to the boiler. 



Since houses 1 and 4 each have two 

 feet of glass in one exposed wall, each 

 of these houses should on this account 

 have one additional 2-inch return. The 

 present arrangement of two 2-inch over- 

 head flow pipes need not be changed, 

 but we would use nine 2-inch returns 

 in house No. 1, eight returns in houses 

 3 and 4 and seven returns in house No. 

 2, merely adding one pipe to each of the 

 return coils, if needed in order to give 

 the stated number of returns. 



Unless the flow pipes in each house 

 now run so as to give a slight fall, such 

 a change will be helpful. If graded 

 carefully, so that air pockets are 

 avoided, a slight fall in the returns will 

 sufiice, and if they can be raised slight- 

 ly it will improve the circulation. The

fact that the main return became ex- 

 cessively hot showed that the circula- 

 tion was poor. "When the returns are 

 •iabove the top of the boiler, there is sel- 

 dom any difficulty in securing a good 

 circulation, provided the flow pipes are 

 of ample size. Even when it is neces- 

 sary to run them below the top of the 

 boiler, the higher they can be carried 

 the better will be the circulation.
