Permanent Furnace Linings 



Quickly Installed with 



Betson Plastic Fire Brick 



Your own workman without special skill or tools can readily do 

 the work. Lumps or balls of the plastic material are placed in 

 position on the wall, pounded with a mallet and smoothed with a 

 trowel. Not a coating but a solid fire brick wall lining without 

 separate fire brick or clay mortar joints to loosen and fall out. 

 Arches, Side walls and Bridge walls are all in one solid piece. 



To save money on repair bills and increase 

 efficiency send for our instructive booklet.

solving the difl&culty. One is whether 

 the house is piped for steam or hot 

 water, and the other regards the temper- 

 ature desired to be maintained in the 

 house. We judge that an attempt is 

 being made to heat the house by means 

 of hot water, for if steam were used, 

 almost any temperature could be se- 

 cured with the piping as it is now. 

 There should be no difficulty in secur- 

 ing at least 65 degrees when it is 10 

 degrees below zero, so far as the amount 

 of radiation is concerned. If steam is 

 used and good results are not secured, 

 we should attribute it to the fact that 

 the returns are too near the water level, 

 or that suitable air valves are not pro- 

 vided at the proper points. 



If hot water is used, we are not sur- 

 prised that it is impossible to secure a 

 good circulation. An attempt is being 

 made to supply some 700 square feet of 

 radiation with a 2%-inch supply pipe. 

 While this can be done with steam, it is 

 three times as much as should be carried 

 if hot water is used. We do not favor 

 using 1%-inch returns in houses more 

 than fifty feet in length, unless they 

 are several feet above the top of the 

 boiler, and, even then, a circulator 

 should be used. The radiation should 

 also be increased fifty per cent if hot 

 water is to provide a temperature of 60 

 degrees in zero weather. 



We should suggest putting in two ad- 

 ditional 2% -inch flow pipes, running 

 them on the wall plates, and dividing 

 the return pipes between the three 

 flows. By also installing a circulator, 

 it should then be possible to obtain an 

 even circulation, although we should 

 prefer to use twelve 2-inch returns, with 

 an open-tank system.
