TOU ought to get circularB and prices. Also circulars and prices on STUTTLE'S PATENT CLAMPS 



for joining boiler tubes, tighter, quicker, cheaper than by the old caulked-joint method.

CAPAQTY OF BOILER. 



I have a No. 19 Hitchings hot water 

 boiler and am heating three houses 

 18x75 feet, one for roses, one for carna- 

 tions and one for bedding plants. I 

 ■would like to knovF if my toiler is large 

 enough to heat one more house for car- 

 nations 18x80 feet by running one of 

 the old houses at a low temperature for 

 violets. It is Kentucky climate. 



J. C. 



Your No. 19 Hitchings boiler I think 

 will carry the new house 18x80, but it 

 will have to be worked pretty hard and 

 thus will require more coal and attention 

 than before. I would advise putting in 

 another boiler of like capacity as the one 

 you now have, so your heating capacity 

 will be large enough to take two or three 

 more houses in the future. You will only 

 have to run the second boiler in ex- 

 tremely cold weather and it will not take 

 any more coal. Two slow running fires 

 do not use as much as one pushed hard.

PIPING FOR STEAM. 



Will you kindly ask your heating ex- 

 pert to describe the proper way to in- 

 stall the piping for steam, to be run 

 under the benches? Also the best place 

 to locate the globe and check valves and 

 also the necessary fittings to allow for 

 expansion? State whether horizontal or 

 vertical check valves are most suitable. 



B. H. I. 



Put the boiler down as low as you can 

 and run the mains and returns under- 

 ground. Cut the system into sections of 

 200 feet. Put in a cross main at each 

 section. Bun the tees level out of the 

 cross main just under the edges of each 

 bench. Put in a space nipple, then the 

 gate valve, then another space nipple and 

 elbow riser out of ell to long-length run

under bench. Put an elbow with a 

 %-inch opening for an air cock on the 

 return end. Put the globe valve in the 

 return riser. Anchor all pipes on the 

 main end and put in swivel joints on the 

 return end. Elbows and nipples are the 

 cheapest things to take up expansion 

 with. Do not use checks; use globes.

PIPING SMALL HOUSE. 



I am building a small lean-to house on 

 the east side of the residence. It is 

 12x26 feet. It is six feet to the eaves 

 and eleven feet to the ridge. It runs 

 north and south. Both ends and three 

 feet of the side wall are glass. I am 

 going to heat it from the hot water 

 heater that heats the dwelling. I want 

 enough radiation to be able to keep it at 

 60 degrees during our coldest weather, 

 which runs 10 degrees below zero. Ho\*^ 

 much radiation do I need? Where shall 

 I run the flow pipes, overhead fastened 

 to the purlins, or under the benches.

which go around the sides of the house! 

 What size should the flow and return 

 pipes be, and how many do I need? 



L. M. D. 



You should put in eight lines of 2-inch 

 wrought iron pipes. Put these in the 

 house in this way: Three on the outside 

 wall, three under the bench next to the 

 house and two under the bench on the 

 outside. Give these pipes a pitch run- 

 ning from the north end to the south of 

 about four or five inches. Bring in a 

 3%,-inch flow at the north end as high 

 up as possible and yet be under the 

 bench. Run the 3V^-inch return across 

 the south end of the house as low as 

 possible, back to the boiler in the cellar.
