steam heating, it is preferable to use 

 1%-inch pipe for houses from fifty to 

 100 feet in length. Without knowing 

 more regarding the arrangement of the 

 piping, it cannot be determined whether 

 the flows run downhill and the lower 

 ends of the returns are two feet above 

 the water level in the boiler, but it is 

 probable that about the only changes 

 required will be to disconnect the ex- 

 pansion tank and place automatic air 

 valves near the lower end of each coil, 

 in addition tp providing the usual steam 

 trimmings for the boiler. A steam trap 

 or pump will be needed if the returns 

 are not well above the water level. 



Even with hot water heat, do not use 

 more than three 2-inch flow pipes and 

 'eight 2-inch returns in each of the 50- 

 foot houses, unless there is more than 

 two feet of glass in the side walls. 

 For the 100-foot house, three 2%-inch 

 flow pipes and eleven returns should 

 enflice for 50 degrees of heat. 



For heating the houses with steam, 

 using 2-inch pipe, two flows and four 

 returns will answer in any of the houses 

 for 50 degrees and two flows and six 

 returns for 60 degrees. It is preferable, 

 however, to use one 2 V^ -inch overhead 

 flow in tbe 100-foot house and a 2-inch 

 flow in each of the other houses. It 

 would then be possible to maintain 50 

 degrees by using six 1^-inch returns, 

 while 60 degrees would require eight 

 or nine returns in each house.
