Where There Is Condensation 



— 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.

were three feet high and were put to- 

 gether in sections, which we fastened 

 in place by wiring them to the iron 

 pipes. We used two sets of the forms, 

 removing the lower set each day, put- 

 ting it on top and refilling it. Thus 

 we went up three feet per day. 



"The stack has a 36-inch flue. All 

 scaffolding was placed inside, thus sav- 

 ing a good deal in that item of expense. 

 The wall for the first thirty feet is 

 eight inches thick, and the upper 

 thirty-two feet is six inches thick. In 

 the upper thirty-two feet we also re- 

 duced the size of the reinforcing pipes 

 to 1-inch. 



"The entire cost, including the mak- 

 ing of the wooden forms and the ex- 

 cavating for the foundation, was $290. 

 The connection to the boiler is made 

 with a cement flue running from the 

 boiler cellar up into the square base 

 of the stack." 



FROM STEAM TO HOT WATER. 



Kindly let me know whether it would 

 be practicable to change my heating 

 system from steam to hot water. My 

 three greenhouses are located on a 

 square tract of ground, with the potting 

 shed at one corner of this square and 

 the boiler house at the opposite corner. 

 Two of the houses meet at right angles, 

 in the shape of an L, with the potting 

 shed at the corner where they meet. 

 These houses are 20 x 100 and 22 x 100. 

 Inside the angle formed by these houses 

 is the other house, 12 x 65, which runs 

 parallel with the 20-foot house and 

 abuts on the 22-foot house. The rest 

 of the ground, between these houses 

 and the boiler house, is vacant. Two 

 main supply pipes extend from the 

 boiler, at right angles to each other, one 

 main running to the ends of the 20-foot 

 and the 12-foot house, and the other to 

 the end of the 22-foot house. The 

 latter main is also tapped by a main 

 which runs to the dwelling house, forty 

 feet away. 



The boiler is thirty horse-power and 

 of the flue type, but has only a ^Vi- 

 inch outlet. What size of holes would 

 it be necessary to make for both flows 

 and returns! What size of pipes should 

 be used? At present the pipes are 2- 

 inch and \y^-\n(i\i. M. B. S. 



While it would be better to put in 

 three 2y2-inch flow pipes and nine 2-

The sooner the better. There is no time like the present 

 time to make a change for the better.

inch returns in the wide houses (20 x 

 100 and 22 x 100, respectively), and one 

 21^-inch flow and six 2-inch returns in 

 the house 12x65, fairly good results 

 can be obtained if the returns are left 

 as they are, and if three 2 1^ -inch flows 

 are placed in each of the wide houses 

 and two 2-inch flows in the narrow 

 house. For the main flow pipes, which 

 run from the boiler to the nearest ends 

 of the wide houses, 4-inch pipes should 

 be used, and a 3-inch flow pipe should 

 be run from near the boiler to the 

 small house and another to the dwell- 

 ing. Main returns of the same size will
