Don't let the coal bins run low; it's 

 false economy to buy fuel on the from 

 hand to mouth plan. 



REPAIRING FURNACE COILS. 



We have a small hot water heating 

 plant, of 1-inch pipe and return bends, 

 which needs repairing. We can repair 

 it most cheaply and effectively, it seems 

 to me, by using 2-inch pipe in the fur- 

 nace, with three return bends connected 

 with the headers, and by using rusted 

 joints. We should like you to inform us 

 if rust joints, properly made, with cast- 

 iron fittings and pipe, would withstand 

 the expansion and contraction which 

 would likely take place when the bottom 

 pipe is twelve to fifteen inches above the 

 fire and when used for hot water. 



G. M. 



If the joints are carefully made and 

 the pipes are put together as indicated, 

 there should be no trouble from the 

 breaking of the joints owing to the un- 

 equal expansion. It will, however, be 

 even easier to make the coils by using 

 wrought iron pipes and screw joints, as 

 will be possible by connecting with the 

 headers by means of long threads and 

 lock-nuts. The danger of the cracking 

 of the headers will also be lessened if 

 they are built up of tees and close nip- 

 ples. 



A SMALL OHIO HOUSE. 



We repaired our house this year and 

 put in new piping. The house is 29x44x 

 10, with one gable glass. We have ten 

 runs of 1-inch pipe, one run of 3-inch 

 pipe and seven runs of 2-inch pipe. The 

 boiler is a ten horse-power traction, with 

 twenty-two 2-inch flues and a fire-box 

 23x36. Now, we should hke to know if 

 that amount of pipe will heat the house, 

 with hot water, for carnatious and gera- 

 niums, in our Ohio climate. L. F. C. 



To heat a house 29x44 feet to 50 de- 

 grees in zero weather, which is approxi- 

 mately what is needed, there should be 

 about 8.75 square feet of radiating sur- 

 face for each foot in length of the house. 

 The present piping aflords 8.67 feet, 

 which is sufficiently close for all prac- 

 tical purposes. 



One-inch pipe is rather small to use 

 with hot water, unless the coils are well 

 above the water level oi the boiler. 

 Whether sufficient heat cau be obtained 

 from the piping cannot be told from the 

 data given, but if it is UDt satisfactory 

 five lines of 2-inch pipe ^ ould be sub- 

 stituted for the ten 1-ineh ^ipes.
