long. This will provide a burner which 

 is economical of fuel and one capable of 

 supplying great heat. The jet of gas 

 admitted by these mixers is usually only 

 about %-inch, and it is likely that you 

 will find it necessary to enlarge this 

 opening to about a quarter of an inch. 

 This can be done easily with a common 

 twist drill and a carpenter's brace.

PIPI1<IG AND VALVES. 



Will you kindly tell me how many 

 3-inch flows and how many 2-inch re- 

 turns are necessary to heat a house 

 22x100 feet in zero weather to about 55 

 degrees, with hot water? Would it be 

 necessary to have valves in each pipet 



L. G. B. 



The house under consideration, 22x100 

 feet, can be heated by a single 3-inch 

 flow and twelve 2-inch returns. If a 

 single flow is used this should be placed 

 under the ridge. 



If you wish to keep all pipes under 

 the benches use fourteen 2-inch pipes, 

 placing flve lines under each outside 

 bench and four under the center bench, 

 and use one line of pipe in each coil as 

 a flow, i. e., a flow and four returns 

 under each side bench and a flow and 

 three returns under the center bench. It 

 will not be necessary to place valves in 

 any of the pipes, unless so desired for 

 the purpose of throwing a portion of the 

 radiation out of service during mild 

 weather. If valves are used install only 

 gate valves. Globe valves impede the 

 flow of water and are not desirable. If 

 one line of pipe under each bench is 

 valved it should be sufficient. Valves 

 are, as a rule, not desirable in hot water 

 systems of heating, but are quite essen- 

 tial on extensive steam plants, where the 

 boilers are kept under constant pressure.

TWO CONNECTED HOUSES. 



I am building two houses 20x160 feet, 

 4-foot walls, all boards, double thick, 

 with paper between, and 11-foot ridges. 

 There is no partition between the houses. 

 Will four flows and five returns, all of 

 2-inch pipe, be sufficient to heat them? 

 My boiler is of 4,300 capacity. Is that 

 large enough? B. S. 



The boiler in question, if its rating is 

 based on square feet of radiation it is 

 capable of carrying, is large enough for 

 the two houses in question. The piping 

 will be found insufficient in severe weath-
