Use it for patching when you cannot afford to cut a boiler out. 

 ELASTIC FIRE BRICK can be used for all fire brick purposes. 



Hoerber Bros., Geo. Wittbold Co., Miller Bros., C. Hausermann, John Reading and Broadbeck the Florist 

 are using Elastic Lining. These are only a few of the! thousands we are selling.

will require ten. Three of the returns 

 may be placed under the benches. 



Valves will be required upon each of 

 the flows in the houses and also upon 

 the returns. They should also be upon 

 about one-half of the pipes in the coils 

 and it is generally advisable to be able 

 to cut off the radiation under the 

 benches. 



Automatic air valves will be needed 

 near the lower end of each coil. Unless 

 the water level of the boiler is three 

 feet below the lowest part of the re- 

 turns, either a steam trap or pump will 

 be required to return the condensed 

 steam. 



HEATING BY NATURAI. GAS. 



I want to erect a small house, of 

 which I am sending a sketch, for start- 

 ing early vegetable plants. It is to be 

 principally under ground. I have natu- 

 ral gas in my cellar, about ten feet 

 away. What size of burner and what 

 kind of a boiler should I usef Would 

 some kind of expansion tank dot 

 Would you recommend 1-inch or 1%- 

 inch pipef How many lines of pipe 

 should there be for hot water 1 The 

 temperature desired is 50 degrees, with 

 an outside temperature seldom going 

 below zero. O. C. S.— O. 



The house appears to be eleven by 

 fifteen feet, with but one foot of the 

 walls above the grade line, and has a 

 solid bed on each side of a walk running 

 through the center of the house. 



We have had no experience in heat- 

 ing a small greenhouse with natural gas 

 and cannot advise regarding the size 

 of the boiler, but since it will require 

 only sixty feet of radiation to heat the 

 greenhouse to 50 degrees, the burner 

 need not be a large one. 



A 5-gallon expansion tank may be 

 used for the heater, with a 2i^-gallon 

 one for the expansion tank proper. Con- 

 nect the expansion tank with the high- 

 est point in the system. 



We would advise the use of a 1%-inch 

 pipe as an overhead flow pipe and six 

 lii4-inch pipes on the walls. Two of the 

 returns might be carried on either side 

 of the middle walk.
