PLIBRICO Keeps the HeatlWhere it Belongs 



PLIBRICO keeps the heat in the furnace, because it forms 

 a jointless one-ciece 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 reduces 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.

Temperature in the house should be 40 

 degrees. H. & S. — Can. 



Neither the letter nor the accompany- 

 ing sketch gives any idea of the con- 

 struction of the walls, but if there is no 

 glass in any of the houses below the 

 level of the wall plates and if the walls 

 themselves are of well-built concrete 

 block or frame construction, and not 

 over five feet in height, we should use 

 ten 2-inch returns in house No. 1, 31x100 

 feet; twelve in house No. 2, 36x125 feet, 

 and six returns in house No. 3, 18x70 

 feet, placing one-half of the number on 

 each of the side walls, although we 

 should prefer, especially if the houses 

 are built with raised benches, to di- 

 vide the returns about equally between 

 side-wall and under-bench coils. 



We note that it is proposed to divide 

 the coils in the center of each of the 

 longer houses, making four separate 

 wall coils in each house, supplying all of 

 them from one overhead flow pipe. Of 

 course this may be done if there is any 

 special reason for it, but for houses of 

 this length we suggest the coils be con- 

 tinuous. If the 4-coil system is to be 

 used we should use a 4-inch main in 

 house No. 1, reducing it to three inches 

 after taking off the first two coils. In 

 house No. 2 the main flow should be 

 5-inch, which may be reduced to 4-inch 

 at the center of the house. For house 

 No. 3 use a 3-inch main, taking it off 

 from the flow to house No. 1 near the 

 boiler. 



If only two coils are used in houses 

 Nos. 1 and 2, it will only be necessary 

 to use 4-inch overhead flow pipes, con- 

 necting the end of the flow pipes with 

 each of the coils by means of 3-inch sup- 

 ply pipes. In house No. 3 the connect- 

 ing pipes may be 2i^-inch. While it 

 will not make much difference if the 

 flow pipes can be supported on posts

running up to the ridge, as a rule we 

 do not favor using a single large flow 

 pipe under the ridge unless the level 

 of the returns is below the top of the 

 boiler. Our preference would be to run 

 two 3-inch flow pipes in houses 1 and 2, 

 either on the wall plates or on purlin 

 posts. There is less objection to the 



3-inch flow pipe in house No. 3, but two 

 2V^-inch flows might be substituted.
