Hot-water Radiators.—Radiators for hot-water heating aremost commonly of cast iron and in appearance are the same asthose used for steam heating. The only difference in the twoforms is in the openings between the sections. Those intendedfor steam have an opening at the bottom joining the sections;while those for hot water have openings at both top and bottomto permit circulation of the water. Hot-water Radiator Valves.—Valves for hot-water radiatorsdiffer materially from those used on steam radiators. Figs. 43.
