IheSlPERIOR 



IMPROVED INTERNAL-FIRED STEEL BOILER 



Made in 10 size*, to heat from 2000 to 6500 feet of 4-inch pipe. 

 No brick- wotk necessary) shipped on skids» all ready to move into 

 place and begin firing. Can be cleaned without letting the fire out. 

 All hubs made so they can be used for either cast-iron or steam pipe. 

 Tested at 25 lbs. pressure and warranted; can be used for low pressure 

 steam by adding steam drum. Best material best workmanship. 

 Specially designed for greenhouse use; corrects the faults of other boilers. 

 Lightest boiler on the market capable of performing equal work. We 

 defy competition in prices on any boiler of equal capacity. 

 Investigate. Send for new illustrated catalogue, just out.

your houses during mild weather. A 

 good plan for you to adopt would be to 

 run the plant as a hot water plant dur- 

 ing mild weather in the winter and dur- 

 ing spring and fall, and as a steam plant 

 daring severe weather. This can be done 

 by a slight modification, and without 

 the changing of any of the piping in 

 the houses. Connect the present system 

 with the city water pressure, if this is 

 twenty pounds or more but less than 

 fifty pounds. If the city pressure is 

 more than fifty pounds, install a reduc- 

 ing valve, 80 as to give twenty-five or 

 thirty pounds' pressure on the system; 

 connect this pipe to the main return 

 close to the boiler, replace all automatic 

 air valves with simple pet cocks and use 

 the plant as a hot water plant as above 

 suggested. I do not think it would be 

 wise to modify this plant so as to pliBU^e 

 it on a regular hot water basis, in view 

 of the fact that you are to erect two 

 more houses of the same size next year, 

 which will give you a plant large enough 

 to justify the attention demanded by 

 steam. As soon as possible, discard the 

 locomotive type of boiler you now have 

 for a regular brick-set or Scotch marine 

 type of return tube boiler. You will find 

 them more economical and they will re- 

 quire less attention. L. C. C. 



RELATIVE SIZE OF PIPES. 



Will three 3-inch returns, each sev- 

 enty feet long, be too much for a 2-inch 

 flow! Will a 3 -inch main supply three 

 2-inch flows? S. H, B. 



One 2-inch flow is rated &s suflScient 

 to care for 400 square feet of radia- 

 tion; the three 3-inch returns, seventy 

 feet long, contain only about 200 square 

 feet, so there is ample capacity in the 

 2-inch flow. If the 2-inch flows are each 

 less than 480 feet long, a 3-inch main 

 will supply them on a steam basis. If 

 hot water is used, everything should, if 

 possible, be kept within 100 feet in 

 length. L, C. C.
