and is under the kitchen, just east of 

 the dining-room. The greenhouse has 

 one foot of fall from the coal shed to 

 the cellar. Would it be better to put 

 the boiler in the coal shed, and could 

 we then heat the dining-room success- 

 fully? We are located in northern 

 Kentucky. What size of pipes would 

 be suitable, and how many should be 

 run through the greenhouse? What size 

 of expansion tank will be needed? If 

 we cannot put the boiler in the cellar, 

 how deep should it be placed in the 

 ground in order to get good circulation ? 



E. B. K. & S. 



If there is no glass in the east wall, 

 as seems to be the case, it will be pos- 

 sible to heat a lean-to of the size de 

 scribed by running one 2-inch flow pi[)e 

 upon the back wall, two feet below the 

 ridge, and then carrying three 2-inch 

 returns around the other three sides of 

 the house. 



A radiator with sixty square feet of 

 radiating surface would probably an- 

 swer for the dining-room, unless the 

 amount of exposed wall and glass is un- 

 usually large. Tho heater is probably 

 amply large to heat the dining-room as 

 well as the greenhouse, and the simplest 

 way would be to place it in tho cellar 

 under the kitchen, especially as this is 

 lower than the cellar under the coal 

 shed. An expansion tank holding five 

 gallons of water would answer. If pos- 

 sible, it will be advisable to place the 

 boiler deep enough so that the top will 

 be lower than the returns. 



OAI.VANIZED HEATING PIPES. 



Will you kindly tell us whether it 

 would be ailvisable to use galvanized 

 iron pipe, instead of the plain iron 

 pipe, in heating with hot water? We 

 are located .so near the coast of the 

 (iulf of Mexico that we are troubled 

 with salt water, which rusts out the 



pipes. 



15. F. C. 



Under the conditions mentioned the 

 use of galvanized heating pipes would 

 certainly be advisable. They arc not 

 quite so effective as the common black 

 j)ipe, from the fact that they have a 

 comparatively smooth surface, from 

 which less heat will be radiated than 

 from the rougher surface of the black 

 pipe. In actual practice, however, the
