 upon a row of posts on each side of the 

 ridge. Three of the return pipes should 

 be on each wall and the others in four 

 coils, distributed under the benches. 

 Give the flow pipes a slight fall, so 

 that the air can escape. Connect the 

 expansion tank with the highest part 

 of the main flow pipe or pipes. For the 

 small houses the same arrangement 

 could be used, except that three 2-inch 

 flow pipes and nine 2-inch returns will 

 suffice. The odd flow pipe should be 

 about two feet below the ridge. 



A better circulation can be obtained 

 with a low boiler; hence the horizontal 

 form is preferable.
