each side of the house. Each return 

 coil consists of one 2-inch pipe and four 

 1%-inch pipes, which connect with two 

 3-inch returns near the boiler. There 

 is a downward slant from the highest 

 point, which is near the boiler. 



How mudi more hot water piping will 

 be needed to heat the house if a suit- 

 able boiler is installed! Can I use the 

 piping as it is if I decide to put in a 

 steam boiler! The temperature needed 

 will be about 55 degrees in zero weather. 

 The sides and gables of the house have 

 two thicknesses of single-thick glass 

 and the house is well protected from the 

 north and west winds. I am strongly 

 inclined to use a steam boiler, as it is 

 difficult to get the boiler low enough 

 for hot water. C. G. L.— N. Y. 



In addition to the data furnished in 

 the foregoing inquiry, the sketch shows 

 that the house has four feet of glass in 

 each wall, \7hether steam or hot water 

 is used for heating, the boiler should 

 have a grate about thirty inches square. 

 This would be rated for something like 

 2,000 square feet of hot water radiation 

 and 1,000 square feet of low-pressure 

 steam radiation. 



For use with steam, the radiation now 

 in the house is not far from the amount 

 required for 55 degrees in zero weather, 

 and no change would be required in the 

 coils on the walls, although we would 

 prefer to use three 1%-inch instead of 

 the two 2-inch pipes ^lentioned. While 

 the three 3-inch flows may be retained 

 for steam heating, we would prefer to 

 use four 2-inch flows. If we were to 

 repipe the house for steam, we would 

 use four 1%-inch flow pipes and twelve 

 1%-inch returns in the wall coils. For 

 hot water heating we would use four 

 2%-inch flow pipes and sixteen 2-inch 

 returns.
