Showing ease with which Plibrico 

 B is laid in place. 



Plibrico Increases Boiler Efficiency 



PLIBRICO is a plastic refractory that makes a solid one-piece 

 furnace lining without joints. Plibrico also is unexcelled for i 

 baffle construction and repairs. 



It will increase the eflSciency of your boiler 15 per cent. It | 

 will make your furnaces gas and air tight and greatly reduce the | 

 cost of upkeep. Can be used wherever fire brick is used. Will | 

 outwear any fire brick made. 



Shipped in steel containers only. Warehouse stock carried 

 in principal cities for immediate delivery.

is a No. 2 Kroeschell, with outlets for 

 two 4-inch flows and three 4-inch re- 

 turns. There is a bench three feet wide 

 all around the walls, with four benches 

 five feet wide through the middle of the 

 house. 



To heat the house I should use six 

 2^-inch flow pipes, placing one upon 

 each side wall plate and one over each 

 bench, about eight feet from the floor. 

 At the farther end of the house con- 

 nect each flow pipe with a coil of two 

 2-inch pipes, running these under the 

 benches, about one foot below the bot- 

 tom of the benches. Use one of the 

 4-inch main flows for three 2Vi-inch 

 flows. 



PIPING PENNSYLVANIA HOUSE. 



I should be glad if you would tell 

 me the number of 2-inch feed lines and 

 1%-inch return lines that should be 

 used on each side of a greenhouse in 

 order to maintain a temperature of not 

 less than 65 degrees with steam heat. 

 The reason I desire to use the above 

 sizes of pipe is that I have pipe of these 

 sizes on hand. 



My house is 20x95 feet, with a 3-foot 

 concrete wall five inches thick in front 

 and on both sides and two feet of glass 

 on each side between the wall/aifd the 

 eave. The boiler house will close up the 

 end of the house. The roof has a one- 

 quarter pitch, so that the ridge is about 

 ten feet from the floor. The front end 

 of the house faces southwest. 



For the present I will use raised 

 benches around the walls, with a floor 

 bed through the center of the house. 



Will you kindly tell me the proper 

 arrangement of piping with the above 

 interior arrangement f H. S. W. — Pa. 



For flow pipes in the house described 

 above, one 2-mch main may be used 

 upon each side wall plate or one 2%- 

 inch flow may be placed two feet below 

 the ridge to supply the entire house. 

 For returns, use eight 1%-inch pipes, 

 placing four returns on each side of the 

 house, either on the side walls or under 

 the raised benches. Unless the benches 

 are placed against the walls, it will be 

 advisable to have at least one of the 

 returns under each bench. 



PIPING SMALL LEAN-TO. 



We wish to ask j'ou for a little infor- 

 mation as to how much pipe and what 

 size will be necessary to heat a lean-to 

 greenhouse 10x20 feet and seven feet
