Fitting Old Tubes. 



Having made some joints in liot water 

 pipe, last and also this season, that have 

 proven very satisfactory, I believe O, N. 

 can fit his boiler tubes with the same 

 material. Mix litharge with glycerin into 

 a very thick paste or putty. If this is 

 used the sleeve need not be more than 

 half as long as in L. C. C. 's method and 

 mix only enough for one joint at a time, as 

 it sets quickly and very hard. Start 

 the joint the same as L. C. C. describes, 

 then put some of the litharge all around 

 and drive it up with a roll of packing, 

 then more litharge and more packing, till 

 the joint is full, finishing off on the 

 outside nice and smooth with the 

 litharge. The litharge cost me 10 cents 

 per pound and the glycerin 35 cents per 

 half -pint, making the joints in the regu- 

 lar 4-ineh hot water pipe cost about 10 

 cents each. The writer knows of joints 

 made with this material seven years ago 

 which are still good. G. H. M. 



I see in last week's Ekvikw that some- 

 one wishes to know how to fit 3-inch 

 boiler tubes, so send my way of fitting 

 them, as we use them and nothing else. 

 For fitting 3 or 3i/^-inch boiler tul^s for 

 greenhouse heating with hot water, take 

 a piece of 4-inch tubing six or seven 

 inches long for a sleeve coupling or have 

 a tinner make them of heavy ^vanized 

 iron, riveting seams and soldering same 

 to make them water-tight; then slip the 

 coupling on the tube, bringing the two 

 tubes together as close as possible. Take 

 a piece of oakum or tow flattened out to 

 two inches wide and' one-half inch thick, 

 just long enough to reach around the 

 tube; spread cement on one side of the 

 oakum and bind this over the seams 

 with string where the two tubes meet, 

 80 the cement will fill the crack, then slip 

 the coupling on so the ends will be equal- 

 ly distant from the jointed ends; now 

 press in cement at each end as firmly as 

 possible, leaving one inch to be filled after 

 the cement is hardened, then fill in the 

 same as before. Use Portland cement 

 without sand, mixed with as little water 

 as it can be used easily. To fit tees and 

 elbows bind a narrow band of oakum 

 around the end of the tube, then slip 

 the fitting on and fill as before ; see that 

 the tubes lie solid while doing the work. 

 If done right they are indestructible. A 

 little oakum pressed in vrith the cement 

 will make it pack easier.
