HOUSE MAY BE EXTENDED. I have a greenhouse 12x13 and nine feet high to the ridge, and I wish to heat it with hot water. The house runs north and south. The side walls contain twenty-seven inches of glass and the south end is glass. At the north end there is a building 14x14, in which I shall put the boiler, and this building is protected on the north by a stable. The boiler is a Little QeJh. It has 2-inch and 2%-inch open- ings and a 14-inch firebox, and is rated at 230 square feet of radiation. I should like to know how to pipe this house for a temperature of 60 degrees in zero weather. What size of pipe would be the best to usef If I should add thirteen feet to the south end of the house, would the boiler be large enough to heat itt Should I use the same size of pipe in the enlarged house? W. T. J.—Me. To heat the house described, we would start with a 2Vi-inch flow pipe at the boiler and carry it to a point in line with and about eighteen inches below the ridge. At the point where it turns to enter the house, connect a 5-gallon expansion tank, using a %-inch pipe. Continue the flow pipe through the house, giving it a fall of about two inches, and at the farther end connect with the return coils on the side walls by means of 2-inch pipes. In each of the side coils there should be five 1%- inch returns. These, of course, should also be given a slight fall and should be connected to the return outlet in the boiler. While a 2-inch return con- nection will answer for the present radiation, if the size of the house is to be doubled it will be well, if possi- ble, to ream
