The Florists' Review 



September 9, 1920 



IT PAYS 



TO USE 



ELASTIC HRE BRICK 



In All Your 

 Boiler Work 



Any Handy Man Can Install It. 



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

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



Hocrber Bros., Geo. Wittbold Co., Miller Bros., C. Hausennami, John Reading and Broadbeck the Florist 

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



IT COMES IN BARRELS READY FOR USE. A TRIAL ORDER WILL CONVINCE YOU.

fifteen li/^-inch returns for the two 

 houses, use eight 2-inch returns in each 

 house, with three 2^/^-inch flow pipes, or 

 ten 2-inch returns if one 3-inch flow 

 pipe is used. However, 1^-inch returns 

 may be used in houses seventy-five feet 

 long and twelve will be required with 

 one 3-inch flow, or ten l^/^-inch returns 

 with three 2iA-inch flows. 



Sink the boiler so that the lower end 

 of the return pipes will be above the top 

 of the boiler. 



IVi-INCH PIPE FOR HOT WATER. 



I am sending you a plan and photo- 

 graph of my greenhouse, which is ll%x 

 60 feet and seven and one-half feet high 

 at the ridge; it runs north and south 

 and has a service shed and boiler house 

 across The north end. I have a No. 1 

 Kroeschell boiler, which will be set in 

 the boiler pit six feet six inches below 

 the surface level. I want to maintain a 

 temperature of 55 degrees at 25 degrees 

 below zero. It is a hot water system. 

 Can I use 1^4 -inch pipe, as I have some 

 of that on hand? I shall have two side 

 benches and a center walk. There is no 

 glass in the walls of the greenhouse; the 

 walls ©f both greenhouse and sheds are 

 of fluted tile. More greenhouses will be 

 erected east of this one and parallel 

 with it. 



Shall I have to bring mains under the 

 service shed floor and run the pipes 

 straight into this house, or can the mains 

 be left near the boiler and the house 

 pipes slanted until they reach the place 

 where they enter the house? Can I put 

 the highest point of the pipe system in 

 the service shed and have the flow pipes 

 fall going south and the returns fall 

 going south, or must the flows rise going- 

 south? There are no upright supports in 

 the house and the roof is held up by 

 cross braces. The service shed is three 

 feet higher than the highest point of the 

 greenhouse. D. R. — Neb. 



"While it would be preferable to use 

 I'^-inch or 2-inch pipes for the returns, 

 it will answer if the li4-inch pipes are 

 used with overhe.Td flows. One 4-inch 

 main will be sufficient for two houses of 

 the size stated. 



It would, of course, be possible to use 

 one 3-inch flow for each of the houses, 

 but. if the boiler has a 4-inch flow port, 

 it would be better to use it for a 4-inch 

 main and to carry it along the south side 

 of the service room and take off two 2%- 

 inch flows for each house. Then arrange 

 to have the flow pipe run downhill and 

 carry it three or four feet below the 

 ridge of the lean-to. Locate the expan- 

 sion tank a few inches above the highest 

 ]ioint of the system, with which it 

 fhould be connected.
