side of the present house. It will be 

 18x25, with thirty inches of glass in the 

 south side. How many 1%-inch pipes 

 will be required for the lean-to, for let- 

 tuce, and how shall I arrange to pipe all 

 from the same boiler! My boiler is a 

 horizontal, with twenty-two 2-inch flues, 

 and the firebox is 22x30. Will the boiler 

 be big enough? P. G. 



The additional radiation necessary for 

 the house 29x44 can be supplied by in- 

 stalling twelve 1%-inch pipes, in addition 

 to the ten 1-inch pipes already in place. 

 A flow pipe at least two and one-half 

 inches in diameter should be installed to 

 supply the combined radiation of the 

 ten 1-inch and the twelve 1%-inch pipes. 

 The little house, 18x25, can be heated by 

 the use of a 2-inch main flow and sixteen 

 11/^ -inch returns. As you do not state 

 the type, the length of the flues or the 

 diameter of the shell, I cannot tell the 

 capacity of the boiler. L. C. C. 



HOT WATER FOR TWO HOUSES. 



I should like to get instructions for 

 piping two houses for hot water. House 

 No. 1 is 21x50 feet. The eaves are seven 

 feet high, the walls containing three feet 

 of concrete and four feet of glass. The 

 north side will be protected by another 

 house. There is no end exposure. I 

 want a temperature of 60 degrees. This 

 house has three benches. 



House No. 2 is 32x90. The eaves are 

 five feet six inches high. The walls have 

 three feet of concrete and two feet six 

 inches of glass. The east gable end is 

 exposed. This house has five benches, 

 and is to have a temperature of 55 de- 

 grees, with the outside temperature 10 

 degrees below zero. I want to use 2- 

 inch pipe where possible, as I have that 

 on hand. 



These houses run east and west, in the 

 opposite direction from the boiler, and 

 are the trussed roof construction, with 

 no purlin posts for supporting the pipe. 

 How many 2-inch pipes will they take 

 and how should they be arranged? I am 

 located in New York state. E. S. 



If you use a 2i4-inch main flow pipe 

 under the ridge in the 50- foot house and 

 fifteen 2-inch returns under the benches, 

 you should have sufficient radiation for 

 a temperature of 60 degrees. The 90- 

 foot house will require a 3-inch riser or 

 main flow pipe and eighteen 2-inch re- 

 turns, in order to maintain a temperature 

 of 55 degrees. L. C. C. 



HEAT FOR KANSAS RANGE. 



Will you kindly tell me what size of 

 boiler, rated in horse-power, for low pres- 

 sure steam, two to five pounds, will be 

 required to heat the following plant? 

 Also how many feet of 1-inch pipe for 

 radiation, in addition to 2-inch overhead 

 flows, will be needed for each of the fol- 

 iowing houses, with a temperature of 10 

 degrees below zero outside, and stiff 

 Winds?

 walls, with three feet of glass in each,
