 system of piping can be used. Unless 

 you have reinforced boilers it will not be 

 advisable to elevate the expansion tank 

 more than twelve or fifteen feet.

PIPE FOR THREE HOUSES. 



How many feet of 2%-inch pipe will 

 be necessary, in Missouri climate, to heat 

 three east and west houses, connected, 

 15x100, seven feet to gutters, and eleven 

 feet to the ridges? Hot water will be 

 used, with a 4-inch flow in each house. 

 The western gables are of glass and the 

 south wall has three feet of glass. The 

 houses will be used for carnations. Solid 

 benches will be used, with one raised 

 bench on the south side to accommodate 

 return flows under it. The boiler-pit will 

 be six feet below the surface. The 

 houses slope eighteen inches toward the 

 boiler-pit. W. B. O. 



In order to maintain a temperature of 

 60 degrees in the houses in question, you 

 should install twenty-one 21/2-incb pipes 

 in addition to the three 4-inch flow pipes 

 you propose to use. If it would be any 

 economy to use 2y2-inch flows instead of 

 4-inch, three 2 V. -inch risers direct from 

 the boiler will do the work just as well 

 as the 4-inch pipes, provided the piping 

 is properly installed. ^' ^' ^-

 severe spraying does not efifect the position of 

 the support or plant. The rings are movable, to 

 allow adjustment to the growth of the plants.

SIZE OF BOILER. 



I wish to put in a boiler to heat a 

 greenhouse with steam. What size will 

 I have to use to get 60 degrees temper- 

 ature with the mercury 5 degrees below 

 zero? I will have to put the boiler 

 under the potting-bench in one end of 

 the greenhouse, and can put it as low 

 as necessary. I will burn gas. The 

 greenhouse is 23x68 and fifteen feet to 

 the ridge. The side walls are of boards, 

 two thicknesses, with tar paper between, 

 and four feet high. The greenhouse 

 connects with the storeroom on one end. 

 I have no cellar. There are three runs 

 around the house, of 2-inch pipe under 

 the side and end benches. Is that 

 enough heating surface? W. M. T. 



If you desire to use steam you should 

 secure a boiler with a rated capacity for 

 at least 800 square feet of radiation. It 

 should be set deep enough so that the 

 lowest return in the house will be at 

 least eighteen inches above the water line

in the boiler; two or three feet would 

 be better. Then run a 2-inch riser under 

 the ridge from the boiler to the far end 

 of the house, drop to the radiating pipes 

 and with a built manifold return by two 

 coils, one on either side of the house, to 

 the boiler; or, if desired, by three coils, 

 one under the middle bench. To get best 

 results from steam the house should have 

 another loop of pipe added ; i. e., another 

 2-inch pipe of the same length as those 

 already installed. L. C. C,

 been quite ill for some time, is on his 

 feet again and will soon be able to at- 

 tend to business.
