The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



September 28, lUOo. 



t IN TEXAS. 



I have two houses 14x75 feet, with no 

 partition wall. The outside walls are 

 five feet high, with a foot of glass, so 

 that the total glass area is 2,550 square 

 feet, not counting the glass in the south 

 gables, above three feet. Gould I get 

 sufiScient heat by using a 2-inch pipe 

 on each outside wall, with four 1%-inch 

 returns in each house? Our lowest tem- 

 perature in seven years has been 5 de- 

 grees below zero. What size of boiler 

 will be required? G. W. T. 



You can heat these houses by running 

 a 2-inch supply, either along the exposed 

 side of each or under the ridge, and re- 

 turning same through eight 1%-inch 

 pipes in each house. The entire piping 

 would consist of a 2-inch flow in each 

 house and eight l^i-inch returns, or six- 

 teen 1^4 -inch pipes in all. It will be 

 desirable to place valves on at least three 

 of the 1^4 -inch pipes in each house, these 

 pipes to be reserved for severe weather. 

 Under ordinary circumstances four or 

 five 1%-inch returns will probably be 

 sufficient in your climate. The boiler 

 should have a rated capacity for 1,000 

 square feet of radiation. It would not 

 be wise to secure a boiler with less 

 capacity. Any standard make of heater 

 with the rated capacity above noted will 

 do your work. L. C. C. 



GRADE OF FLOV PIPE. 



I am changing a boiler in my green- 

 bouse and it is very much longer than 

 the one I am taking out. The flow pipe 

 is eighteen inches higher than the line of 

 the flow that is already in the house. I 

 am in doubt whether to drop the flow 

 eighteen inches by tees and elbow to 

 begin level or let the fall be gradual 

 through the length of the house until it 

 strikes the returns at the other end. 

 Please give me your opinion. F. A. B. 



If, as seems to be the case, you are 

 using a down-hill system in the arrange- 

 ment of your flow and return pipes, I 

 should by all means change the grade of 

 the flow so as to make it gradual the 

 full length of the house. Tees and ells 

 have a tendency to retard the circulation 

 and the fewer you use the better.
