Radiator branches mors than 8 ft. in length should be one size larger than shown in Column /. Note t.--These tables apply where pipes are properly reamed. No allowances for defective material or workmanship have been (Abo see Tables 8 and 9). Note t.--Capacities based on lb. condensation per square foot per hour equivalent radiation and actual diameter of standard pipe. Note S.--Extra length to be added to straight run of pipe for various fittings and valves to determine equivalent length. (See Table 4). Note l.--Mains are to be proportioned according to the equivalent length of run from the boiler or source-of supply to the farthest radiators supplied by the main*
Determine equivalent length of run then use figures in that corresponding Column (B to G) for supply mains; (N to 5) for dry return niains; \T to F) for wet return mains for rising the entire run. , Supply and return risers are to be proportioned according to the equivalent length of run tram the boiler or source of supply to the farthest radiator on each riser.
Fen* supply risers determine the distance from the boiler to the farthest radiator served by that riser then use the figures in the corre sponding Column (B to (7) for sizing each supply riser; providing the amount of radiation for that riser does not exceed amounts shown.in Column H. Where supply riser capacities are found to be in excess of amounts shown in Column H, step up to necessary size indicated in that column. For return risers determine the equivalent length of run in feet from the top of each riser to the boiler then use the figures in the corresponding Columns (N to S) for sizing each riser.
Note 6.--Where it is necessary to drip a supply main or a supply riser or a branch to a supply riser, same should drip separately into a wet return. A drip for a two-pipe system may be taken into a ary return through an adequate seal.
Notes.--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.
