PIPING TWO HOUSES. 



I have two houses, one for carnations 

 and one for mixed stock. The houses 

 are connected; the south side is five feet, 

 with twelve inches of glass; the north 

 wall is six and one-half feet. The houses 

 are located on a northeast slope, and 

 are eleven feet to ridge. I have a steam 

 boiler with forty-six 2-inch flues and a 

 dome on top, with 7-inch and 4-inch re- 

 turns at the bottom of the boiler. It 

 has a 1%-inch and a 2-inch return on 

 the dome. 



Being unable to get enough 4-inch 

 pipe in town to enter the houses from 

 the boiler, I had to use 3-inch. I started 

 with a 4-inch nipple eighteen inches long, 

 then a tee with a 3-inch outlet, thence 

 into the houses, running to the north- 

 west corner of the house for mixed 

 stock, thence along the north wall to the 

 east end, thence with a riser to the mid- 

 dle, overhead, then dropping straight 

 down irito %-inch boiler flues, and re- 

 turning to the boiler in a 3-ihch pipe. 1 

 also took a 2-inch flow for the same 

 house and connected it to a IV^-inch 

 opening on the same, and returned to 

 the boiler by a coil of six li/^-inch pipes. 



The carnation house has two 2-ineh 

 flows, but only one connection from the 

 main, and also returns connected for 

 both coils to a 2-inch pipe, then con- 

 nected near the boiler to the 3-inch re- 

 turn from the other house. The trouble 

 is that the returns near the boiler, or 

 west end, don't heat up and keep the 

 temperature desired. This house has 

 two coils of seven li/^-inch pipe for re- 

 turns. Where is my trouble I 



I thought I would try either chang- 

 ing the carnation house from two 2-inch 

 flows to one 3-inch, or leaving the flows 

 as they are and connecting each of them 

 separately to the 3-inch main return. 

 Which is the best plan! C. J. L. 



You really have more piping in the 

 houses than is necessary to supply the 

 radiation required. If you are not se- 

 curing satisfactory results, it must be 

 due to the method of installing the pipe. 



I do not like the arrangement of the 

 piping, as it throws too much radiation 

 near the center of the houses. You have 

 thirteen li/^-inch pipes through the mid- 

 dle of the room, and only a 4-inch and 

 a 2-inch near one of the exposed sides. 

 Before ^ materially altering the piping 

 try making the far end of the coils a 

 few inches higher than at present, so as 

 to increase the fall in the system. Then 

 with the expansion tank connected to the 

 main return near the boiler elevate it so

that the bottom of the tank is twelve or 

 fifteen feet above the highest pipe in the 

 system. Or if you can connect the 

 system with a waterworks system which 

 will afford twenty-five or thirty pounds 

 pressure, use a %-inch connection with 

 the main return. If this gives no relief 

 then we will change the arrangement of 

 the pipes. L. C. C. 



TYPES OF GAS BURNERS. 



As a high-pressure line of 8-inch gas 

 main runs along the front of my place, 

 I have decided to use gas as fuel for my 

 greenhouses, but I am at a loss what 

 kind of burners to use for two Hitch- 

 ings boilers, Nos. 15 and 16. I went to 

 see two of our wholesale gas fitting firms 

 in town and one suggested open burners, 

 six in each fire-box; the other one just 

 the contrary, a burner where the gas 

 will have to burn through broken fire- 

 bricks. Being a beginner of a few years 

 in business of my own I should like to 

 get the best without paying for expe- 

 rience. M. B.

pipe, which should be a 1-inch pipe, close 

 to the base, through the ash doors, you 

 can use what is called a Jumbo burner, 

 which consists of a large mixer threaded 

 for a 1-inch or %-inch supply pipe and 

 a 2-inch pipe above. The air take of the 

 mixer is adjustable so that the draught 

 can be regulated. The burner is usually 

 a home-made affair, consisting of a piece 

 of 2-inch pipe about ten inches long 

 threaded at both ends, one end screwed 

 into the mixer, the other capped. Around 

 the side of the cap drill about six %-inch 

 holes, and then drill fifteen holes in 

 three tiers, one above the other, in the 

 2-ineh pipe large enough to be threaded 

 for %-inch gas pipe. Arrange the holes 

 so that they miss-match. Screw a nip- 

 ple of %-inch pipe into each opening, 

 making the lower circle of nipples about 

 seven inches long, the next row about 

 five inches long and the top row or those 

 just below the cap about three inches
