main flows to supply each of the houses, 

 and as flows inside each house, would 

 put in three 2 14 -inch pipes, locating one 

 OB each wall and the other under the 

 ridge. House No. 2 should have six 2- 

 inch returns, while seven will be re- 

 quired in house No. 3. Place two qf the 

 returns on each wall and the others un- 

 der the benches, or in the walks, if solid 

 beds aJe used. 



I do not understand just how house 

 No. 1 is constructed. I am in doubt 

 whether there is a frame against the 

 north wall or the north wall of the 

 house is a frame structure with a lean-to 

 roof over the greenhouse. As the ridge 

 is less than ten feet high I infer that the 

 house is even-span, with a frame against 

 the north wall. If that is the case, I 

 should use the same piping as in house 

 No. 2. ^ 



While I should prefer to have the main 

 flow pipe to each house connect directly 

 to the boiler, it will answer if a 4-inch 

 flow pipe is carried along the ends of 

 the houses and a 3-inch supply pipe is 

 taken off for each house. 



PIPING FOR MICHIGAN HOUSE. 



We are completing a greenhouse 25x 

 100 feet, to be used for growing general 

 stock, and wish to maintain a temper- 

 ature of 60 degrees this winter. The 

 house runs north and south, and has 

 two center ground beds and raised beds 

 on the sides. The side walls are three 

 feet wood and three feet glass. At the 

 north end is the oflSce; the south end is 

 glass. We have a 25-horse-power Dutton 

 steam boiler, to be fitted for hot water 

 heating. Please give your opinion as 

 to the number and sizes of pipes for 

 flows and returns; also as to the ar- 

 rangement of pipes with relation to the 

 beds. J. L. C. 



To heat the house described, about 

 1,200 square feet of radiation will be 

 required, and for mains I would sug- 

 gest the use of a 3-inch flow pipe on each 

 of the walls and a 214-inch flow three 

 feet below the ridge. For returns, run 

 five 2-inch pipes under each of the side 

 benches and the same number in the 

 middle walk, connecting each of the 

 coils with the corresponding flow pipe 

 at the farther end of the house and 

 using 3-inch pipe for the main returns 

 between each coil and the boiler. Run 

 the flow pipes with a slight slope from 

 ' the boiler, and connect the highest point 

 in each flow pip^ with the pipe leading 

 to the expansion tank.
