Where There Is Coodeosation 



—there is need for a Morehead Steam Trap. Condensation in 

 steam *li!ie8 is akin to matter out of place — means wasted energy. 

 If your lines are sluggish — if your houses are not of uniform 

 temperature, write us. We guarantee to drain yb# linftlf per- 

 fectly — return the pure, hot condensation to your boiler without 

 pump or injector or make no chiirg«^to*'^||p^ial. Obey that 

 impulse— write now. ^' r-j'''^'":'^:] , ■ . ;.

WITH BOILEB XTNDEB BESIDENOE. 



I wish you would tell me what 

 amount of piping will be needed in a 

 house that I am building. I expect to 

 do my own plumbing, and do not know 

 the exact amount of piping required. I 

 intend to use hot water, and will place 

 the boiler in the basement of my resi- 

 dence, which is five feet from one cor- 

 ner of the greenhouse. The greenhouse 

 is 18x125, with eighteen inches of glass 

 on top of cement walls two and one- 

 half feet high. I shall want a temper- 

 ature of about 55 to 60 degrees when 

 the outside temperature is 10 degrees 

 below zero. The house is exposed on 

 all sides. I am figuring on using 2-inch 

 pipes for returns. What amount of 

 radiation would be needed to carry that 

 extent of glass surface and still have 

 some surplus, in this New York lati- 

 tude! There will be three benches in 

 the house. W. K. 



The greenhouse, 18x125, should be 

 connected to the boiler in the basement 

 by a 4-inch main flowpipe and a return 

 of the same size, running from the 

 boiler to the nearer end of the house, 

 where three 2%-inch pipes should be 

 taken off from the flow and run to the 

 farther end of the house. While ten 

 2-inch returns Would answer, it will be 

 better to use twelve. Kun one flow 

 under the ridge and one upon each 

 plate. To each flow connect four of 

 the returns, and place them under each 

 of the benches. 



PIPING A LETTUCE HOUSE. 



I expect to build a small greenhouse 

 this fall, to be used principally for 

 growing lettuce. The house will be 

 20x60 feet, eleven feet to the ridge and 

 four feet to the eaves. There will be 

 no glass in the sides; the south end will 

 be glass above the level of the 4-foot 

 walls. I think I shall make two 

 benches, seven feet wide, with an aisle 

 between them and one on each side. 

 The ground slopes to the north. I shall 

 put the boiler at the north end, and I 

 think that by building the house level 

 I shall be able to provide enough fall 

 for the returns.

RETUIW TRAPS 



— BECAUSE^ 



they drain all the condensation from all the steam coils and 

 automatically return it directly to the boiler hot. Not a 

 drop ii,:^iftjted. None of the heat is lost.

 reasonable. ' 



Let U8 figure on your needs at least. However 

 we know that a trial order will show you that our 

 pipe carriers are the best. Get our prices. 



ADVANCE CCSfSST' 



Mention The RctIpw when yog write. 



I can get a twelve horse-power up- 

 right boiler. Will that be large enough 

 to heat the house for growing lettuce? 

 How should the house be piped for this 

 Missouri climate! How large an ex- 



pansion tank will be needed and how 

 high above the boUer should it bef My 

 business is the growing of small fruits 

 and vegetables, and I wish to add let- 

 tuce growing to it. Can you tell me
