PLAN FOR PIPING. 



I have a house 18x70 and ten feet 

 to the ridge. The center line of the 

 house is forty-five feet west of the 

 boiler. How shall I pipe this house 

 cheapest and best to maintain 60 de- 

 grees under Massachusetts weather con- 

 ditions! E. S. H, 



It is unfortunate that your boiler is 

 located so far from the room you wish 

 to heat. The forty-five feet from the 

 boiler to the entrance of the house is 

 a great factor in the problem. Under 

 good conditions it is not desirable to 

 carry hot water on a gravity system 

 over 100 feet. Here you have to carry 

 the heated water nearly half this dis- 

 tance before using it to warm the green- 

 house in question; The whole length 

 of the run in this case is 115 feet. It 

 will undoubtedly be best if it can be 

 so arranged to heat this house with 

 water under pressure. Carry a 2% -inch 

 riser from the boiler under the ridge 

 of the house you wish to heat to the 

 south end, and there divide it with 

 three 2-inch pipes to return in three 

 coils, one under each side bench and 

 one under the center bench. If you use 

 l^^-inch pipe in the returns place five 

 pipes in each side coil and four in the 

 center one, making fourteen pipes in 

 all. By connecting a fifty or sixty, 

 gallon expansion tank with a %-inch 

 supply pipe to the main return near the 

 boiler and elevating the tank at least 

 ten feet above the highest point in the 

 flow pipe, you should have a satisfac- 

 tory system at a minimum of cost for 

 installation. If the forty-five feet of 

 flow necessary to reach the house pass 

 through a shed or room where the heat 

 isi not needed, cover this pipe with as- 

 bestos and it will save heat. L. C. C.
