PIPING FOR SEVERE COLD. 



I have two connected houses, eac 

 14x60 feet, eleven feet to the ridge at, 

 side walls five feet six inches high. 

 There is glass down to the level of the 

 benches except on the west end, where 

 the boiler shed is. We want to return 

 the water on the gravity system. How 

 shall we pipe to maintain 52 to 56 de- 

 grees when it gets down to 30 degrees 

 below zero? How far below the returns 

 should the boiler be? A. B. C. 



A satisfactory plan for piping your 

 houses would be to place the boiler in a 

 pit deep enough so the top of the boiler 

 will be eighteen, inches to two feet be- 

 low the lowest point in the return pipes. 

 The pipes may be arranged as follows: 

 Each house provided with a 2-inch or 

 2%-inch riser running under the ridge 

 to the most distant point in the house 

 and there dividing to return under the 

 benches in four 2-inch returns. This 

 will give nine pipes in each house, 

 which will be sufficient to maintain the 

 temperature desired with water at 180 

 degrees. In installing the system the 

 highest point in the riser should be at 

 the most distant point in the house, i. 

 e., where the riser divides to supply 

 the returns. The returns should have a 

 gradual fall from the far end of the 

 house, in this case the east end, to- 

 ward the boiler. A grade of ten to 

 twelve inches in the length of the house 

 will be sufficient. A vent valve should 

 be placed in the riser at the highest 

 point. An expansion tank with thirty 

 gallons or more capacity should be 

 made a part of the system by connect- 

 ing it with a %-inch or 1-inch pipe to 

 the main return near where it enters 

 the boiler. Place the tank fifteen or 

 eighteen feet above the point where it 

 connects with the returns, let the bot- 

 tom of the tank be three or more feet 

 above the highest point in the riser. A 

 hot water boiler, such as is used for stor- 

 ing hot water in dwellings, makes a 

 satiBfactory expansion tank. A boiler 

 for this plant should have 1,000 feet 

 capacity. L- C. C.
