PIPING. 



Please advise me as to the proper ar- 

 rangement of pipes in a greenhouse 

 12x50. How many valves or stops are 

 needed and where should they be placed? 

 You advised 520 feet of 2-inch pipes, 

 six lines on one side and five on the other 

 in two manifolds. Where should the ex- 

 pansion tank be placed, at boiler end or 

 remote, and at what end the manifolds'? 

 Must all the pipes run across the narrow 

 end of the house back to the boiler? 



G. W. L. 



Your letter would indicate that an 

 earlier answer had been given to a part 

 of your question at least. As you do not 

 state the temperature you wish to main- 

 tain in your house it is diflScult to give 

 a definite answer. If you wish to main- 

 tain a temperature of 70 degrees then 

 from 500 to 520 feet of 2-inch piping 

 should be used; if 60 degrees is desired 

 nine lines of 2-inch pipe will be suffi- 

 cient. If ten lines of pipe are used and 

 arranged in two manifolds of five pipes 

 each I think it would be wise to place 

 gate valves at each end of two of the 

 lines of pipe in each manifold. The ex- 

 pansion tank is most effective when con- 

 nected with the main return near the 

 boiler and so placed that it is from 10 

 to 15 feet above the highest point in the 

 system. The returns can be carried into 

 a manifold which can be connected with 

 the boiler by means of a single pipe. 

 It is not necessary that they aU be car- 

 ried across the house to the boiler. 



One of the most satisfactory arrange- 

 ments for the pipe in your house would 

 be to run a 2-inch riser from the boiler 

 under the ridge to the most distant end 

 of the house, there divide it, using two 

 2-inch pipes to supply two manifolds, 

 one on each side wall or under each side 

 bench, each manifold to have four 2-inch 

 pipes. At the other end of the house, 

 1. e., nearest the boiler, each of these 

 coils of four pipes can be brought to- 

 gether into a common 2-inch pipe which 

 shall be connected directly to the main 

 return to the boiler. L. C. C.
