All of these modern structures have radiant heatina, and more than 25 miles of Byers Wrought Iron pipe, in sizes :from to 8-inch, were used in the various installations for the heating coils and- for auxiliary lines. MAXIMUM tFFICIINCT--MAXIMUM COMFORT The illustrations show typical de sign and procedure. Pipes were welded Into grids for manufactur ing, warehouse and garage areas, formed in sinuous coils for second floor areas. Hot water is used lor healing. The building was divided into tones with individual circu lators used for each. Shortly after one building was completed, out side temperatures dipped to 15 be low. Comfort conditions within the plant were reported as "excellent/' UMtOUl PB0PIB1IU The almost universal use of wrought iron pipe for radiant heating results from engineer recognition of its unusual advantages. It is easily formed and welaed. It has high heat emission. It expands and contracts at practically identical rates with concrete, avoiding the danger ol thermal cracks, and loss of bond, finally, its superior corro sion resistance has been conclu- , sively demonstrated. ^ HIlPFUl IITOUTUBI Our bulletin, "Byers Wrought Iron.. for Radiant Heating", gives com plete technical information on cal* culation, design, and layout.
