and a 3-inch main will answer if the 

 steam is under high pressure. It will 

 be well to use a 2-inch pipe for the re- 

 turn water. 



A concrete conduit will not be par- 

 ticularly expensive and will prove quite 

 satisfactory. The walls need not be 

 more than three inches thick, and two 

 inches will answer for the upper edges 

 of the sides. Concrete slabs can be 

 used as a covering. To prevent radia- 

 tion from the pipes, they should bB en- 

 closed in asbestos pipe covering. While 

 a smaller conduit might be used, to per- 

 mit the mains to run side by side and 

 give plenty of room for putting on the 

 covering, a width of fifteen inches is 

 desirable, with a depth of about twelve 

 inches.

CAPACITY OF BOILEB. 



I have a Cottage boiler, with a grate 

 20x30 inches. Will you kindly tell me 

 how much 1^-inch pipe it will heat, with 

 a l^^-inch feed 150 feet long; that is, 

 from the boiler to the end of the green- 

 house? My location is southeastern 

 Pennsylvania. C. A. 



A Cottage boiler of the size men- 

 tioned should handle 1,000 linear feet 

 of 1^-inch steam radiation, in addi- 

 tion to seventy-five square feet of radi- 

 ation in the main.
