Stuttle^s Patent Cast Iron Pipe 



WITH PATENT JOINT CAST ON. 



Nothing so 



GOOD 



For Hot Water 



YOU ought to get circulars 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.

of the proposed boiler-house is the best 

 place there is. In the heating of the 

 houses from here it would be best to run 

 a main in a covered pit across the north 

 end of all the houses and a main return 

 also on the south end. Keep the return 

 and main underground. Put a vent pipe 

 in the main return where it drops into 

 the boiler. I should say a 60-inch boiler 

 would carry about 30,000 feet of ground 

 covered. G. T. E. 



TO RAISE TEMPERATURE. 



I have two greenhouses. They are ten 

 feet high and forty feet wide, and I use 

 hot water with an overhead flow. It 

 works satisfactorily, but in cold weather, 

 say when it is 15 degrees below zero, I 

 cannot keep the temperature any higher 

 than 50 degrees. I have two feeds, one 

 4-inch and one 3-inch. The 4-inch is car- 

 rying two strings of 4-inch and five of 

 2-inch, and the 3-inch is carrying four of 

 2-inch, one of 1%-inch, and five 1%-inch. 

 Will you please tell me how much more 

 pipes I will have to have in order to have 

 a temperature of 70 degrees in such 

 weather as 15 degrees below, and how. 

 many more 4-inch will the 4-inch feed 

 stand? Both feeds leave and return 

 independently of each other. I also have 

 two expansion tanks,* one forty gallons 

 and one thirty gallons. They are at the 

 farther end of the houses. Or do you 

 think that I could get better results by 

 using a hot water generator? If so, 

 could I use it with the two feeds and 

 returns as they are, or would I have to 

 have them both in one? D. U. 



You would have to have four more 2- 

 inch pipes in each house. The 4-inch flow 

 will carry them all right, but I would 

 put in a 2V^-iKch flow with the 3-inch 

 one. Raise your expansion tanks as high 

 as possible. The generator would work 

 best on one flow and return, but you could 

 run it on separate flows all right. 



Draw off all the water in the system 

 and give the boilers a good cleaning out 

 •f soot and rust, and it will help you out 

 a great deal. G. T. E. 



I WISH your valued paper every suc- 

 cess it merits, as it is the most instruc- 

 tive trade publication printed today, and 

 I would wish that you were compelled to 

 «se ten tons of paper, instead of nearly 

 three, as I truly believe every florist 

 would be instructed that would read it. 

 But then, again, you might become bank- 

 rupt, as you surely give lots of reading 

 for the money. — Frank M. Baker, At-

It takes 90 to 120 lbs. of steam per horse power to operate 

 an ordinary boiler feed pump. "Detroit" Return Traps 

 require only about one-tenth that amount. Why not save 

 the nine-tenths ?
