They are connectedby mild steel union nuts to special cast-steel fittings whichscrew into the header; a 1-16-in. copper wire gasket is used inthe union nut. As shown in Fig. 2, these small tubes extendinto large 5 in. superheater fire tubes and to within about30 in. of the back tube sheet, where they connect with theheavy cast-steel return bends shown in Fig. 5. The steam re-turns from the return bend through 1V4 in. tubes, which con-nect through union nuts and special cast-steel fittings, similarto those mentioned above, with the fingers of the bottomheader, which is shown in detail in Fig. 6. The steam pipeswhich connect this header with the cylinder casting are
