There are more MORKHXAD TRAP^installed in grreenhouses than of all othsr 

 makes of steam traps combined. The Morehead is distinctly a florist's trap. Erery 

 feature of its construction has been treated with a view of meeting the special needs

BOILEB AT SIDE OF HOUSE. 



Please give me your idea as to the 

 best way to pipe my greenhouse, which 

 runs east and west and is 24 x 50, with 

 eighteen inches of glass in the sides. 

 I want a night temperature of 55 de- 

 grees, in this Illinois climate. There 

 are five benches. The boiler shed is 

 at the middle of the north side of the 

 greenhouse. Shall I use an overhead 

 now, extending to the east end of the 

 house, which is the higher end? 



H. M. M. 



The letter states that the boiler shed 

 is at the middle of the north side of 

 the greenhouse, but does not indicate 

 where the doors and benches are lo- 

 cated; hence it is difficult to give exact 

 directions about the arrangement of the 

 piping. If both ends of the house are 

 exposed and there is glass in both of 

 the side walls, the amount of glass is 

 probably between 1,750 and 1,800 square 

 feet, depending upon the pitch of the

roof. To heat such a house to 55 de- 

 grees in Illinois, rather more than 600 

 square feet of radiating surface will 

 be needed. 



Provided the arrangement of the 

 house permits it, I would suggest that 

 a 3-inch flow pipe be carried into the 

 house and extended to the east end, 

 about two feet below the ridge. By 

 means of 2-inch pipes connect the end 

 of the flow with two coils, each con- 

 taining four 2-inch pipes, which should 

 start at the middle of the east end of

 these coils should run along the north

 door in the west end of the house, the 

 coil should stop at that point and an- 

 other coil should run from the boiler 

 shed around to this door. This coil
