PIPING IN ARKANSAS. 



Are twelve 1%-inch lines of hot water 

 pipe sufficient to heat a house 22:r80 feet, 

 with the sides five feet high! The roof 

 is not of the best to keep out cold. The 

 outside temperature here sometimes 

 drops to near zero. M. G. 



To pipe a house 22x80 feet so as to 

 maintain 60 degrees during severe weath- 

 er will require twenty lines of 1^4 inch 

 pipe. A good way to provide radiation 

 in this house would be to install seven- 

 teen 1^4 -inch returns, arranged in three 

 manifolds, each fed by a 2-inch flow. 

 This would give a little more radiation 

 than is provided in the twenty 1^4 -inch 

 pipes and give a better distribution,

EXPANSION TANK OVERFLOWS. 



What is the cause of the water run- 

 ning out over the top of my expansion, 

 tank? 



I could not get my heater down where 

 it belongs, but it worked well last spring 

 and the circulation is fine now. If the 

 fire becomes quite hot, however, out goes 

 a barrel or more of water over the top 

 of the expansion tank. The heating pipe 

 goes from the top of the heater upward 

 four inches, with an elbow on top and 

 a pet cock. This is the highest part. 

 Then the pipe goes eighteen inches from 

 the elbow and connects with four 2 -inch 

 pipes that go around the house under the 

 benches, with a true grade down until

they get back near the heater, where 

 they connect again with a single pipe, 

 which drops down eighteen inches and 

 enters the heater. The expansion tank 

 is about seven feet above the heater, 

 and is connected by a %-inch pipe with 

 the return pipe where it enters the heater. 

 The greenhouse is 20x45 find that 

 system of piping keeps it warm enough, 

 but I do not understand why the water 

 should run over so. W. E. H. 



In regard to the behavior of your ex- 

 pansion tank, I suggest first that the 

 tank is not high enough. It should be 

 twelve to twenty feet above the boiler, 

 if it is possible to so arrange it. Sec- 

 ond, the expansion tank may be too 

 small or you may keep too much water 

 in it. The expansion tank should have 

 merely a trace of water in it when the 

 system is warm and should be large 

 enough to hold all the expansion of the 

 system when heated to full capacity, so 

 that when the plant cools off the pipes 

 will all still be full of water. 

 ■ Baise the tank if possible, and in- 

 crease its capacity so it wUl hold the 

 expansion of the system. See that the 

 tank is practically empty when the sys- 

 tem is cool ; otherwise the expansion tank 

 does not fulfill its mission, that of hold-

 from steam to hot water. My house is

 feet five inches to the ridge. It has 

 1-inch board walls, covered with tar felt,
