PIPINO A NEW JERSEY HOUSE. 



I am building a greenhouse, 20x50 

 and nine feet high to the ridge. The 

 sides stand on a 10-inch concrete foun- 

 dation; above this is a wall of %-inch 

 grooved boards, covered with building 

 paper; this, again, is covered with 

 feather-edge weather boards. Above 

 this is a 2x4 sill, and then two feet of 

 glass to the eave plate, making the 

 sides six feet high from the ground, 

 inside the building. The ends are 

 built the same way up to the 2x4 sill; 

 above that the ends are all glass. The 

 building stands. on nearly level ground. 

 I wish to heat it to 60 degrees in zero 

 weather. How many runs of 2-inch 

 pipe will be needed to be sure to keep 

 the temperature up to that point? 



I have a new Lord & Burnham boiler, 

 which will be located in a cellar under 

 a shop and potting shed. The cellar is 

 about nine feet deep and fifty feet 

 distant from the greenhouse. A hot 

 water system will be used. I wish to 

 use 3-inch pipe for the main, carrying 

 it overhead outside to the greenhouse 

 and returning it underground to the 

 boiler. G. E. S. 



About 450 square feet of radiation 

 will be required to heat the house de- 

 scribed to 60 degrees. For main flow 

 and return pipes, between the green- 

 house and the boiler, 3-inch will be the 

 correct size. Within the house I would 

 use three 2iX.-inch flow pipes, placing 

 one on each wall plate and the other 

 eighteen to twenty inches below the 

 ridge. Although nine 2-inch returns 

 would heat the house, it will be found 

 more economical of fuel if ten are used. 

 Three should be on each wall; the other 

 four, supplied by the main under the 

 ridge, should be under the middle 

 benches. 



Connect the expansion tank with the 

 main supply pipe near where it enters 

 the greenhouse. The flow pipes should 

 have a slight fall toward the boiler. 

 This will do away with the necessity 

 for ua^pg air Talves. If a generator 

 is attached to the supply pipe, the

On a certain February 11. B. L. Elliott, of

 found his previously reliable nigtit man

SYSTEM 



Solves the condensation problem In the greenhouse. Con- 

 densation In the stnam apparatus means a sluggish steam 

 system— and wasted eneiiry. Greenhouses, where the tem- 

 perature iB not uniform, produce Imperfect stock. Correct 

 both these conditions by instalUnK a Morehead System. It 

 puts the condensation back into the boilers— hot. That not 

 only means a savins in heat but it protects you against 

 poor steam clrcnlation. leaks and repair expenses. Have 

 our engineers tell you why. Write today.
