PLIBRICO Keeps the Heat Where It Belong! 



Plibrico is easily molded to fit any place 



D 



PLIBRICO keeps the heat in the furnace, because it forms a 

 jointless one-piece lining in your front door arches, entire 

 fronts, side walls, arches, bridge walls, etc. This lining is 

 gas and air-tight, saves fuel while at the same time greatly 

 reducing your furnace upkeep, will last longer, give better 

 satisfaction and can be more easily repaired than a lining 

 constructed of fire brick and fire clay. 



PLIBRICO is also unexcelled for baffle construction and 

 repairs.

greenhouse has a 3-inch feed, with four 

 2-inch returns on each side. The feed 

 pipes drop away from the boiler and the 

 returns drop to it. 



Have I got too many returns for the 

 feedt I should like to have 60 degrees 

 in the mushroom houses and about the 

 same in the greenhouses. The coldest 

 weather we ever get is about 20 degrees 

 below zero. H. J. T. — Mo. 



The description of the houses indi- 

 cates that greenhouse No. 1 has its west 

 wall exposed and that there are only six 

 2-inch returns, while house No. 3, which 

 is of the same size and is also to be 

 heated to 60 degrees, has eight returns. 

 The walls in house No. 3 are not de- 

 scribed, but at any rate it would be well 

 to put in two additional returns in house 

 No. 1, giving it the same piping as house 

 No. 3. 



Especially for severe weather, addi- 

 tional mains should be furnished for the 

 houses. The 3%-inch main will prob- 

 ably supply houses 1 and 2, but the 3- 

 inch main in house No. 3 should be con- 

 nected directly with the heater; this ar- 

 rangement would be preferable for each 

 of the houses. The main returns should 

 be of the same size as the flow pipes. 



Whether there is enough radiation in 

 the mushroom houses depends upon the 

 warmth of the construction. It is pos- 

 sible that a little more radiation will be 

 needed in the wider houses. If so, use a 

 2J^-inch flow pipe upon each plate and 

 place four 1*4 -inch returns in each of 

 the side coils. 



The boiler should be amply large 

 for 3,000 or 4,000 square feet of radia- 

 tion. Even with the addition of

the radiation suggested above, there 

 will not be more than 2,000 square feet 

 of radiation in the three greenhouses 

 and two mushroom houses altogether, 



and the main flow and return pipes 

 would not add more than 300 square 

 feet, so that there is a wide margin of 

 safety in the capacity of the boiler.
