1%-incli pipes on the east wall, and two 

 coils of four 2-ineli pipes each, on the 

 west wall and under the center bench. 

 If the flow pipes run downhill, no air 

 valves will be needed, provided the ex- 

 pansion tank is connected with the high- 

 est point in the system and one main 

 flow is used, or connected with the high- 

 est point of each of the three flow pipes, 

 provided all of them start from the 

 boiler. The main returns should be of 

 the same capacity as the flows. 



YOKING TWO BOILERS. 



Will you advise me as to whether the 

 attached sketch shows the proper way 

 in which to yoke two boilers? I have 

 tried it before, but I found that without 

 the check valves shown on the flow 

 pipes that connect each boiler with the 

 main flow header, the water got quite 

 hot before circulating and that this 

 caused a short circulation through the 

 cold boiler. G. D. B.— Ky. 



While it will be advisable to have 

 gate valves on the flow pipes that con- 

 nect each of the boilers with the main 

 flow header, the lack of the valves would 

 not account for the failure of the water 

 to circulate. 



The sketch shows that each boiler sup- 

 plies two 2-inch flow pipes, which con- 

 nect with the 3-inch main flow pipe by 

 means of one 2%-inch pipe. The 3-inch 

 main supplies four 2 1^ -inch flow pipes, 

 each of which feeds a coil of four 2-inch 

 returns. While it is presumed that these 

 returns are all joined with a main re- 

 turn header, which in turn is connected 

 with the return ports on each side of 

 each boiler, it is not so indicated in the 

 sketch. Unless this is done, the bad re- 

 sult above could be expected. 



If the size of the boiler and the length 

 of the returns had been given, the ques- 

 tion could have been answered more in- 

 telligently. To get the best results, it 

 would have been better to use two 2\^- 

 inch flows and returns from each boiler 

 and to connect these by means of 3-inch 

 pipes to the main flow and return pipes.
