Radiator branches more than 8 ft. in length should be one use larger than shown in Column 0. fThis table is for systems which are open to atmosphere or operate under slight pressure or partial vacuum without
use of vacuum pumps. Note l.--These tables apply where pipes are properly reamed. No allowances for defective material of workmanship
have been made. (Also see Tables 8 and 9). Note t.--Capacities based on X 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 4.--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 B) for supply mains; (J to Af)
for dry return mains; (N to Q) for wet return mains for sizing the entire run. Supply and return risers are'to be proportioned according to the equivalent length of. run from the boiler or source of
supply to the farthest radiator on each riser. For supply risers determine the distance from the boiler to the farthest radiator served by that riser then use the figures
in tile corresponding Column (R to E) for suing each supply riser; providing the amount of radiation for that riser does not CToeed amounts shown in Column F. Where supply riser capacities are found to be in excess of amounts shown in Column F, step up to necessary rise indicated in that column. For return risen 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 (J to M) 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. The drip for a vapor or vacuum system may be taken into a dry return through a steam trap.
Note 0.--Pitch of mains should be not less than X in. io 10 ft; on horizontal branches to radiaton and risen at leasts in.

*Rsdistor branches more than 8 ft. ill length should be one eize larger than Bhoim in Column /. tThis table is for systems which are open to atmosphere or operate under slight pressure or partial vacuum without use of vacuum pumps.
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 X lb. condensation per square foot per hour equivalent radiation and actual diameter of standard pipe. Note S.--Extia length to be added to straight run of pipe for various fittings and valves to determine equivalent length. (See Table 4). Note 4.--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; (L to Q) for dry return mains; (R to W) for wet return m&inn for wring the entire run.
Supply and return risers are to be proportioned according to the equivalent length of run from the boiler or source of supply to the farthest radiator on each riser.
Fat supply risers determine the distance from the boiler to the farthest radiator served by that rise- then use the figures in the corre
sponding Column (B to G) 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 he in excess of amounts shown in Column H, step up to necessary rise indicated in that column. For return risen detemine the equivalent length of run in feet from the top of each riser to the boiler then use the figures 10 the corresponding Columns (L to Q) for airing 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. The drip for a vapor or a vacuum system may be taken into a dry return through a steam trap.
Note 6.--Pitch of mains should be not less than X ia. in !0 ft.; on horizontal branches to radiators and risen at least M in* In 10 ft.
