INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING TABLE 9
aI. Radiator branches more than 8 ft. in length should be one size larger than shown . in Gol. D.
2. These tables apply where pipes are properly reamed. No allowances for defective material or workmanship have been made. (See Tables 7 and 8).
3. Capacities based on lb. condensation per square foot per hour equivalent radiation and actual diameter of standard pipe.
4. Extra length to be added to straight run of pipe, for various fittings and valves to determine equivalent length. (See Table 4).
b. Where it is necessary to drip a steam main, branch to riser or risers, same should be dripped separately into wet return.
6. Pitch of mains should be not less than in. in 10 ft.; on horizontal branches to radiators and risers at least H in. in 10 ft.
"7. In general it is desirable not to have a supply main smaller than 2 in. in diameter.
un1 suPply main is larger than
in. at the beginning, it is desirable that it
shall not be smaller than in. at the end.
