ought there to bef I want to use the 

 pipes for steam after I enlarge the plant. 



W. M. N. 



The house in question can be heated 

 with water under pressure by using a 

 3%-inch flow pipe carried under the 

 ridge to the distant end of the house, 

 and there divided by three 2-inch 

 branches to supply three coils, each con- 

 sisting of 1%-inch pipe. Place seven 

 lines of pipe in each coil on the outside 

 walls or under the outside benches, and 

 six lines under the center bench, making 

 twenty returns in all. It will be best to 

 have the openings in the boiler the same 

 size as the flow and returns; if not, 

 make them four inches and bush down. 

 Put the expansion tank up high if you 

 do not use city pressure. L. C. d 



EXPANSION TANK. 



In connecting the expansion tank, 

 would it do as weil to connect on the 

 bottom of the boiler? I have returns on 

 each side of the boiler, and there is a 

 1-inch opening at the bottom of the 

 sides. M. W. W. 



While it is most desirable to connect 

 the expansion tank to a main return 

 near the point where it enters the boiler, 

 I see no reason why it should not give 

 good satisfaction when connected direct- 

 ly with the boiler, provided the point of 

 contact is below the opening for the re- 

 turns. L. C. C.
