the three houses with it at the corner, 

 where it isf '^How must I arrange the 

 piping^ Md > iwbat size and number of 

 flows ana returns will each house need? 

 Can the hot y^ater pipes be carried out- 

 side successfully, to get from house to 

 house? B. A. B. 



While it would balance things up a 

 little better to change the location of the 

 boiler, I believe you can successfully heat 

 the plant without going to this expense. 

 Although it is not desirable to carry 

 the- flow pipes out of doors, I believe 

 that- by carefully covering them with "a 

 good asbestos protection and a hood of 

 metal or wood, to protect the asbestos 

 from the weather, it will give you no 

 difficulty. 



The piping for these houses can be 

 handled from a riser under the ridge, 

 and returns on the side walls. The first 

 house, 20x100 feet, will require a 3-inch 

 flow and ten 2-inch returns, five on each 

 side wall. The house 11x100 feet can be 

 heated by a 2 V^ -inch flow and six 2-inch 

 returns, three on each side wall; and the 

 house 25x100 feet by a 3-inch flow and 

 twelve 2-inch returns, six on each side 

 wall. To heat the second and third 

 houses, i. e., the houses 11x100 feet and 

 25x100 feet, it will be well to carry 

 a 4-inch pipe to the center of the 11-foot 

 house, and a 3-inch pipe into and 

 through the 25-foot house. The main 

 return should not be less than 3-inch 

 for these houses. L. C. C. 



USE OF A CHECK VALVE. 



In piping a house for hot water so 

 that the water can be drawn in severe 

 weather, and steam can be used to heat 

 the place, is it necessary to put a check- 

 valve on the return near the boiler? 

 The latter is six feet below the returns. 

 Is it better to connect the expansion 

 tank with the highest part of the system 

 or with the return near the boiler? 



J. I. M. 



If the water-level in the boiler where 

 steam is used will be three or four feet 

 below the level of the returns in the 

 houses, there will be no need of a check- 

 valve in the return. The check will 

 impede the circulation when hot water 

 is used. A swinging check might be in- 

 stalled, and when hot water is used the 

 valve disk be removed, to be replaced 

 when the plant is placed on a steam 

 basis, but with three or four feet dif- 

 ference in elevation, the system should 

 work all right without the valve. The 

 expansion tank should be connected with 

 the main return near the boiler.

A COIL BOILER. 



Please let me know how many feet of 

 2-inch pipe it will take to make a coil 

 boiler to heat two houses, each 11x75, 

 four feet to the plate, seven feet to the 

 ridge. There is no glass in the side 

 walls. The houses run north and south, 

 and the south ends are glass. I want 

 60 degrees at 10 degrees below zero out- 

 side. Would pipe smaller than 2-inch be 

 better? J. S. M. 



A coil boiler constructed from 2-inch 

 pipe of suflScient size to care for the 

 radiation in two houses, each 11x75 feet, 

 should contain 150 . lineal feet of pipe 

 exposed to the action of the heated gases. 

 Each of these houses should carry at 

 least 365 square feet of radiating sur-
