OIL TO PREVENT RUST. 



The question of oiling or painting 

 heating pipes to prevent rust has been 

 discuseed pro and con but is yet unset- 

 tled. Some weeks ago I had 2,000 feet 

 of 2-inch pipe, new from the factory, 

 thrown on the ground in the open air. 

 The season here has been very wet and 

 as a result the pipes were wet most of the 

 time. On placing them in position for 

 heating I find them rusted more or less 

 (mostly more) except near the ends, where 

 it is readily seen there had been oil of 

 some kind. This oil was there as a 

 result of machine work in threading at 

 the factory and extended from three to 

 eight feet from the ends. There is 

 no sign of rust. I do not suppose this oil 

 would withstand steam but I hardly 

 think hot water heat would bum it oflF. 

 Will some of the brethren state their ob- 

 servations on this point? The plumber 

 tells me that the oil in question is lard 

 oil. S. C. T. 



The lard oil which adheres to the pipes 

 as the result of its use in threading the 

 pipes will soon be dissipated by the heat 

 of a normal hot water system. Such light 

 oils cannot be relied upon to serve as a 

 preventative of rust. If grease of any 

 kind is to be used it must be one of the 

 heavy fluids from the refinery or a mica 

 grease. Asphaltum varnish is the best 

 protection against rust but not a desira- 

 ble material to use on radiating pipes.

PIPING THREE HOUSES. 



I intend to build three houses 20x100 

 to heat with hot water to 52 degrees when 

 it is 20 degrees below zero outside. How 

 many feet of 114-iDch pipe will it take? 



T. W. B. 



It will not be safe to use less than 

 fourteen runs of 1^4 -inch pipe in each of 

 these houses if they are detached. If 

 they are constructed on the ridge and 

 furrow plan; i. e., connected and without 

 partition walls, a little less piping can 

 be used in the middle house. L. C. C.
