This porch is to be heated in win- 

 ter by means of a 2-inch pipe from the 

 3-inch main, but in summer the 2-inch 

 pipe will be disconnected and the porch 

 thrown open. The second story of the 

 residence contains two bedrooms, each 

 14x14; another bedroom, 14x16, and a 

 bathroom, 6 x 11. 



Now to return to the greenhouse: 

 Will two 214-inch flows, one on each pur- 

 lin, feeding six 1%-inch returns on the 

 West and five l^^-inch returns on the 

 east, supply sufficient radiation, in addi- 

 tion to the 3-inch flow, in this Illinois 

 climate? The returns from the resi- 

 dence are to be used to heat a lean-to 

 on the east, ten feet wide, three feet 

 oiKh to the eaves and seven feet to the 

 "dge, to a temperature of 40 to 45 de- 

 grees. As the 3-inch flow must go uphill, 

 can I put the expansion tank in the resi- 

 dence? The other flows, I thought, 

 Could run downhill. Or will two tanks 

 "e needed if I place the tank and gen- 

 erator in the attic? My reason fo r ask; 

 lOg this question is that my boiler room 

 >8 only eight feet wide and would have 

 to be disproportionately high in order to 

 place the expansion tank so the bottom 



Buy the Chicago Trap 



It has two tanks ; the larger one does not move. Only the small one 

 moves to operate the valves. Objections to the tilting Trap are overcome by 

 carrying the weight of fixed tank and the water on special fittings, and not 

 on the trunnions, as in all other tilting traps. Only the pilot Tank moves 

 on the CHICAGO TRAP. Trunnions are only U inch, and packed with 

 METALLIC PACKING, which wears indefinitely. The valves are also 

 packed with METALLIC PACKING. 



Return your condensation to the boiler and save the HEAT UNITS; 

 only one-tenth the steam required to operate a pump.

As the size of the windows is not 

 given, the amount of radiation required 

 to heat the dwelling cannot be deter- 

 mined, but it is probable that a 3-inch 

 main will be ample. In arranging the 

 piping for the enclosed porch, plan to
