PAINT ON PIPES. 



AVill you please tell me what to do 

 witli some pipes in a greenhouse? 1 

 painted them a year ago with a black 

 paint. Jt made a very bad scent in the 

 house, wliic'h is injuring the plants. Last 

 winter 1 scraped the l)ipes, but still the 

 scent is not all gone. Can 1 get some- 

 thing to put on the pipes to take this 

 scent away? J. A. J. 



If it can conveniently be done, the 

 most satisfactory method of ridding the 

 pipes of the offensive paint would be to 

 reniova the pipes and burn off the paint. 

 If the houses were empty this might bo 

 accomplished with the pipes in p^ace by 

 the use of a plumber's blast torch. If 

 neither of these suggestions is practica- 

 ble, the next best thing is to paint the 

 pipes with asphaltum varnish. This will 

 throw off fumes for a few days but if 

 the house is given plenty of air little if 

 any harm will result from its use. The- 

 oretically pipes should not be painted, as 

 the coating over the surface impairs 

 their efficiency as radiators, and thus de- 

 feats in a measure the purpose for which 

 the pipes were installed. L. C. C. 



LIMIT FOR HOT WATER. 



"What is the maximum length of house 

 it is safe to heat by hot water with 

 3-inch flows and 2-inch returns, the boiler 

 being at the end of houses? 



A. C. L. 



I'nder ordinary circumstances it is not 

 <le8irable to run hot water more than 

 100 feet when gravity alone is to be de- 

 pended upon. With a circulating pump 

 hot water can be carried from 200 to 

 300 feet, but without some artificial 

 means of hastening the flow it is not 

 advisable to exceed 100 feet in 2-inch 

 pipes. L. C, C
