Where There Is Condeiisatiofl 



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

 steam lines 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 your lines per- 

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

 pump or injector or make no charge for the trial. Obey that 

 impulse — write now.

connect with a coil of six 2-inch pipes 

 on the south side of the doorway; these 

 pipes should be carried around on the 

 south and west sides of the house to 

 the northwest corner; where they 

 should be connected with the heater 

 l\y means of a 2%-inch main re- 

 turn pipe. Another 2%-inch flow pipe 

 should drop down on the north side of 

 the door and connect with a coil of five 

 or six 2-inch pipes, which should run 

 around to a point opposite the heater, 

 where they should be connected in the 

 same way as the return from the other 

 coil. If the pipes all run downhill, 

 there will be no occasion for using air 

 valves. 



If, for any reason, the main flow pipe 

 can not be carried up to the height de- 

 sired until after it has entered the 

 greenhouse, the connection with the 

 expansion tank should still be made at 

 the highest point of the system, and al- 

 though an elevation of ten feet or more 

 will be desirable, if necessary the tank 

 can be connected directly with the flow 

 pipe. 



ISiOT ENOUGH BADIATION. 



I am building a greenhouse, 21x50, 

 running north and south, five feet high 

 to the eaves and eleven feet to the 

 ridge. Please let me know the best 

 way to run the pipes for hot water, to 

 have a temperature of 50 degrees at 

 night. There will be four benches in 

 the house. If I place two 2-inch flows 

 under the ridge, run them to the front, 

 then drop them down and connect with 

 four 1^4 -inch returns, which would be 

 under the benches and would enter a 

 2-inch return to the boiler, would that 

 arrangement be satisfactory! I shall 

 use a Wilks boiler. I am located in 

 7-estern Pennsylvania. H. P. S. 



The plan proposed will not supply 

 enough radiating surface, and larger 

 return pipes should be used, unless a 

 circulator is attached to the system. 

 For an open-tank system use one 2*^- 

 inch overhead flow pipe and ten 1^-inch 

 returns, and connect the coils to the 

 heater either with one 2J/^-inch or two 

 2-inch returns. One of the returns can 

 be on each of the plates and two 

 under each bench. There is no particu- 

 lar objection to the use of two 2-inch 

 flow pipes, except that one 2i^-inch 

 pipe will give as good results and will 

 l>n cheaper to install. 



A Steady 

 Pressure 



will always 

 be main- 

 tained in 

 vour steam pipes, no matter 

 how the pressure at the boiler 

 fluctuates, if you equip your 

 main lines with these valves. 

 Carry 40 or 50 pounds pressure 

 on the boiler, set the 



Hughson 

 Regulating Valve 



to carry 5- or 10 pounds on the 

 line and you will always have a 

 reserve in case of a sudden drop 

 in temperature. This valve 

 saves both fuel and worry. Ask 

 for catalogue and particulars.
