sired. There should be twelve 2-inch 

 returns in order to give a temperature 

 of 70 degrees. 



In a house of this width the side bench 

 may be placed, so as to allow only one

CAPAQTY OF FLOWS. 



Will you inform me as to how many 

 feet of radiation a 1-inch, li4-inch, 1^- 

 inch, 2-inch, 2 1^2 -inch, 3-inch, S^^-inch 

 and 4-inch flow pipe ought to supply, 

 using hot water I L. M. F. 



Pipes less than 1 14 -inch are seldom 

 used as flow pipes or risers: ' The follow- 

 ing table will show the amount of ra- 

 diation a given size pipe will supply: 



225 square feet radiation. 



400 square feet radiation. 



620 square feet radiation. 



. . . 900 square feet radiation. 



3%-inch pipe, 1,220 square feet radiation. 



4 -inch pipe, 1,660 square feet radiation.

basis. F. -R.

USING QTY VATER PRESSURE. 



Can I connect my hot water heating 

 plant with the city mains and do away 

 with my expansion tankt The city water 

 pressure is fifty-eight pounds to the 

 square inch when the standpipe is full, 

 but varies as the standpipe becomes par- 

 tially empty. Would this variation make 

 any difference t What pressure do I 

 need on the plant! Can I regulate it by 

 a reducing valve? My water pipe is 

 %-inch. Should this be attached to the 

 return near the boiler, the same as the 

 expansion tankt Would the expansion 

 of the water drive the surplus back into 

 the main? Where should the reducing 

 valve be placed? S. A. "D. 



You can use the city pressure in the 

 way you indicate. It will be well to 

 hold the pressure between twelve and 

 twenty pounds, depending upon the 

 pressure the boiler is guaranteed to 

 carry. If you use a reducing valve, 

 you should also equip the boiler with a 

 safety valve, set at three or four pounds 

 higher pressure than the reducing valve. 

 The water connection should be made to 

 the main return close to the boiler, the 

 same as with the expansion tank. TJie 

 reducing valve can be placed at the most 

 convenient point in the water supply

Facts That Tell 



Capitol Boilera make an especial appeal to the florist on the 

 proven facts of fuel economy— quick repairs— ease of operation. 



Bernard Katzwinkel, Prop. Restland Floral Co., Mendota, 111., 

 testifies : — "The hot water Capitol Boiler I received of you last 

 seaBon has given me complete satisfaction. I find it to be a fine, 

 clean boiler to fire, no coal waste, and a first-claes heat producer. 

 I fully recommend it." 



Beard Bros., Detroit, Mich., say: — "After one year's use we 

 are very much pleased with the Capitol Boiler. One night last 

 winter the temperature dropped to 16 degrees below zero, and the 

 bouse was as warm as at freezing point. We used soft coal most 

 of the time and it was as satisfactory as hard coal." 



Any of our Branches or Sales Agencies will give you hundreds of 

 such testimonials, and when you examine the boiler itself you will 

 quickly see its superior merit over all competing boilers. It is 

 better to be safe than sorry. Put in a Capitol Boiler.
