Florist: I would like +o in- quire through your columns the proper way ot piping a bouse 20x150 for steam with 1-inch pipe, so as to have an even temperature throughout the house and not to have the ends warmer. John R. Van Bochove. Kalamazoo, Mich. The amount of pipe required willdepend upon the amount of glass exposure and other exposed surfaces in the house. To find the amount of pipe needed take the square feet of glass surface in the roof, sides, and gables and add to this one- tf-nth of the nnmberof square feet of other exposed surfaces, if of wood, stone or bri:k. Allow one foot of 1-inch pipe to each 2V4 ft. of such surface. After finding the number of feet of pipe, divide by the length of the house to find the number of rows of pipe needed. To insure the gable end being warmed uniformly wi^h the other parts of the house carry the pipes across the gable end or to the doorwaj-. The best way to place the pipe would be to raise from the main supply, dropping from this point all the way to the return, placing valves upon both flow and re- turns at this end, also an air cock upon the lowest part of the return pipe. This will allow any two lines of pipe to be operated independent of any others, while the regulation of same is from one end of the house, thus saving a good many steps in the course of a season and allowing close regulation of the heat. The pipes may all be placed under the staging, or part of them carried overhead, as desired. They should be distributed evenly throughout the house. Lincoln Pieeson. Of Lord & Burnham Co.
