— 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. ^

quired to heat each house to the tem- 

 perature stated on the sketch. Can I 

 successfully heat all the houses with 

 one boiler? If so, what is the best 

 way of protecting the pipes, which 

 would have to run from house No. 1 

 to No. 3? What size of hot water 

 boiler will be required? We burn only 

 soft coal here. The lowest outside tem- 

 perature in this locality is about 27 

 degrees above zero. T. S. 



The sketch shows one house divided 

 into three rooms by cross partitions, 

 as follows: No. 1, a rose house, 20x68; 

 No. 2, a fern house, 20x38, and a pro- 

 posed carnation house, 15x20. The 

 temperatures desired in these rooms 

 are, respectively, 58, 60 and 52 degrees. 

 Each room has three feet of brick and 

 three feet of glass in each wall. An- 

 other house, thirty feet away, contains 

 two rooms — No. 3, 15x18, and No. 4, 

 15x22, for which temperatures of 60 

 and 50 degrees are desired. 



The sketch does not show which way 

 the houses run or where it is pro- 

 posed to locate the boiler. If the 

 boiler is to be at the end of the car- 

 nation room, the rose, fern and carna- 

 tion rooms could be heated by running 

 a 3-inch overhead main under the ridge 

 to the farther end of the rose house 

 and then dropping a 214-inch feed pipe 

 down on each side of the door, con- 

 necting each of them to a coil of four 

 pipes running to the corners and then 

 along the side walls back to the boiler. 

 If the boiler house is built across the 

 end of the carnation room, no radiation 

 will be required for the end of that 

 room. 



If the boiler is low enough so that 

 the flow and return pipes can be car- 

 ried underground from room No. 1 

 across the thirty feet of open space to 

 room No. 4, it will be possible to heat 

 all of the rooms with one boiler, rated 

 for 1,200 to 1,500 square feet of ra- 

 diation. Cover the pipes with asbestos 

 and run them through either sewer pipe 

 or cement conduits. Use 2%'inch pipe 

 for the main flow and return. Run 

 the flow pipe under the ridge through 

 room No. 4 to the farther end of room 

 No. 3, and, as in the other range, drop 

 down two feed pipes, each of which 

 should supply a coil of three pipes to 

 run to the corners and along the walls 

 back to the farther end of the house.
