Balanced 
heating 
Unless you continually watch the 
drafts and dampers of your 
heater, the building is liable to 
be overheated in mild weather 
or underheated on zero days. 
This means the patience-trying 
labor of running up and down 
stairs, to regulate the fire to suit 
weather changes. The 
SYLPHON Regitherm 
is a compact little device which holds an ex¬ 
panding-contracting, “can’t-wear-out” liquid 
as sensitive to temperature changes as a ther¬ 
mometer. It is directly connected to the boiler 
or furnace draft and check dampers. There 
are no springs, clock-work or batteries to run 
down or wear out. 
The Regitherm is easily put in place—lasts as 
long as the 
house — and its 
cost is quickly re¬ 
paid by the fuel¬ 
saving it effects. 
It keeps the 
whole house at 
70 degrees or at 
any other tem¬ 
perature at 
which you wish 
to set thepointer.

New aids to 
ideal heating 
The remark¬ 
able growth 
in popular 
favor of low- 
pressure 
Steam and 
Hot - Water 
heating have 
recently 
brought out 
greatly improved little adjuncts to the 
heating outfit, such as Radiator Valves 
and Air Valves, Temperature Regu¬ 
lators, etc. 
. Many a good heating outfit now giving 
good service can be made to do much 
better. These new devices bring 
about better heat control, fuel economy 
and long life of the outfit. 
NORWALL VALVES 1 
are about the cleverest devices, as they not 
only automatically vent the radiators of air, 
but when steam pressure ceases the air is 
automatically prevented from re-entering the 
radiators and piping. 
Air is, of course, the enemy of heat—it must 
be expelled from the radiators before steam 
can circulate. The NORWALL lets out the 
air and keeps it out, and does 
this work steadily day and 
night like an automatic 
mechanical servant. Their 
use usually effects a fuel sav¬ 
ing of 20 per cent or more. 
Norwall Vacuum Air 
Valves on a heating 
outfit — either old or 
new — in conjunction 
with NorwallPackless 
Radiator Valves give 
the user a warming 
system which reaches 
the highest ideal of 
heating comfort.
