Where There Is Cofldeflsation 



— 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.

 leaky joint in your greenhouses? Why 

 not buy a Climax Steam Joint Clamp- 

 apply it— and forget it?

are to be retained, a generator will be 

 almost a necessity. The proper way 

 to heat the house would be to use 

 three 214-inch flows and seven 2-inch 

 returns; or, with 1^-inch returns, put 

 in three 2-inch flows and nine returns, 

 and, unless the boiler is low enough to 

 obtain a quick circulation, put on a gen- 

 erator. This should give an even tem- 

 perature throughout the house. 



Twenty tons of coal should heat the 

 two houses for five months, under 

 fairly good conditions. 



MUST MAKE SOME CHANGE. 



I am having trouble with my heating 

 plant. The houses are piped for steam, 

 but not properly, and they do not get 

 any heat from some of the pipes. Will 

 you kindly have your heating expert 

 look over the enclosed diagram and 

 give me a plan for properly heating 

 these houses with either steam or hot

 I have a notion to change to hot water, 

 if I can at this time. The boiler must 

 be r^aired, at all events, and the 

 makers say it is a small matter to 

 change it into a hot water boiler. The 

 outlets for hot water would be on each 

 side^ near the top of the boiler. How 

 far below the floor of the houses must

House No. 1 has not enough radiation,

 other houses were hot they would sup- 

 ply a fair amount of heat. All the 

 pipes are 1^-inch, as you will note on
