Vapor Vacuum 

 System of Heating 



WITH this System you 

 can absolutely govern 

 the temperature in any 

 room by graduating the open- 

 ing of the radiator valve, and 

 the radiator will only be heated 

 in proportion to the amount 

 of steam admitted; therefore 

 no room is overheated, which 

 means a great saving in fuel. 



This System costs less to install 

 complete than the ordinary 

 hot-water system, and it can 

 be put in by any steam-fitter.
