The flow connec-tion used before the extension was made is plugged. In piping 30 HOT WATER SUPPLY. up a water front in this manner it is imperative that there shouldbe no burrs in the pipe or fittings and a smoother workingjob will be obtained if there is room in the fire box to make thepiece of pipe and the tee of 1-in. pipe as shown, as then therewill be no retarding of the flow by friction with consequent over-heating and noisy operation. Instead of a cast iron water back it is common to use a coilmade of iron or preferably of brass pipe. This is generallybuilt by the plumber to fit the stove installed and consists of the. 14. Coil Fitted Over aRange Fire Box. ordinary elbows and return bends in common use. It can bemade to fit one, two, three or four sides as desired and isgenerally built in a simple two pipe style, although with a firebox of large capacity and depth it may be built three pipesdeep. The size of pipe generally used for these coils is % in.,as then the fittings do not take np an undue amount of roomand the coil can be made to fit snugly to the walls of the firebox. Unless special provision has been made for the use of sucha water heater by the maker of the stove the interstices of thecoil and the space left at top and bottom should be filled witha good stove cement. This does not affect the heating qualitiesof the coil and prevents overheating of the plates of the rangeor leakage of
