cated. If the level of the pipes is above 

 the boiler and they run uphill from the 

 boiler, there would be no difficulty about 

 securing a circulation. As a rule, there 

 would be an upward movement of the 

 water in one of the pipes and a down- 

 ward movement in the other. This was 

 the system in use quite generally forty 

 and fifty years ago and it gave fairly 

 good results. The number of pipes 

 varied anywhere from two to six or 

 more in each group. Sometimes all of 

 the pipes were on the same level, but 

 generaJly if there were more than two 



pipes in a 



'set' 



or 



'coil, 



j> 



one or 



more were carried above the others and 

 those in the upper tier served as the 

 flow pipes and the lower ones as re- 

 turns. While it was desirable to carry 

 the pipes as far above the boiler as pos- 

 sible, it was not necessary that they 

 be given much of a slope, but merely 

 (Tnough to allow the air to escape. It 

 would even be possible to secure a cir- 

 culation in pipes run singly and without 

 being connected, if they were furnished 

 with an expansion pipe or vent at the 

 highest point, provided large pipes are 

 used and that the houses are of moder- 

 ate length only and arc above the boiler. 

 There would be a flow and return move- 

 ment of the water within the individual 

 pipes. We do not favor such a system 

 or the using of large pipes for the re- 

 turns, as a 2-inch pipe will provide 

 about one-half as much surface as a 4- 

 inch pipe and only one-fourth as much 

 water will circulate. It is easier to use 

 small pipes as overhead flows and, as the 

 circulation will be more rapid, a smaller 

 amount of radiation will be required. 

 We prefer to use 2il.-ineh pipes as flows 

 with 2-inch returns in houses of mod- 

 erate length and somewhat larger pipes 

 for longer houses and smaller ones for 

 short and narrow houses.
