As the pipe radiator of years ago was replaced by the cast-iron form, so the coil has been supplanted by the AMERICAN Peerless Wall Radiator. The AMERICAN Peerless Wall Radiator was developed to supply a demand for efficiency, and it has been suc- cessful. A study of the design will show elimination of friction-giving passages, which feature allows operation with less power, pressure or vacuum, as the case may be, and eliminates many air-venting problems. The mechanic approves of this type of radiation, since he can always make a proper circulating as well as a good- looking job. The owners will like it because it looks better, fits in better, is more efficient, and occupies less space. The AMERICAN Peerless Wall Radiator does not wear out. The story of replacing heating surface after a number of years is now obsolete, for AMERICAN Peerless Wall Radiators are a part of the building as much as the ground upon which it is built. Being made of cast iron, it can stand the roughest use in any type of heating plant. The sections are connected together by means of heavy right- and left-hand nipples of malleable iron, and the connect- ing openings are made with cast-iron bushings. Nipples are several times the weight of standard pipe (this at the thread line). Being made of malleableized iron, these nipples exhibit the same remarkable resisting qualities to the action of steam and water as does the radiator surface. [4] a AMERICAN PEERLESS WALL RADIATORS Features of Superiority —Continued We gladly supply, on request, a series of laboratory test sheets showing, under 2 pounds steam pressure at boiler, an average coefficient of 2.121 per square foot of AMER- ICAN Peerless Wall Radiators. The water content of these Radiators is about fifteen- hundredths of a gallon per square foot. All regular AMERICAN Peerless Wall Radiators are tested at factory to 100 to 120 pounds pressure. Radiators for higher working pressure than 40 pounds can be made on special order. Sections weigh about 7 pounds per square foot. Many combinations of groupings can be made and, with a little thought, very successful applications are possible. AMERICAN Peerless Wall Radiators never lose their value. If a building is remodeled, extended or otherwise altered, they can always be used again without loss—100 per cent salvage! Ingenious methods of supporting AMERICAN Peerless Wall Radiators are shown—on walls, on ceilings, on girders and in almost any part of the building. As illustrated, the in- stallation is simple—the Arco Brackets, Supports, Hangers, Pendant Flights, Post Supports or Inserts being set and the Radiator placed on them and adjusted for pitch. These splendid devices, together with the Clearway Forms and Backset Connections, constitute an unequaled line of accessories, which will do much to advance and popularize heating. The following pages contain descriptive matter, show- ing methods of application, measurements, surface, in- Stallations, telegraph code, etc. [5] Labor Economy in Erecting AM WALL RADIATORS Fig. 100.

[9] Arco and Arco Junior Adjustable Brackets RCO Adjustable Wall Brackets have many unusual features and fulfill the demands of the most difficult installations. They are strong, easy to erect, adjustable, and they make a neat and attractive job. Expansion and contraction are provided for, no matter how long the run of Wall Radiators may be. The spools on the bottom Bracket allow a free horizontal movement of the Radiators, thus taking care of any difference in “‘roughing in’’ measurements, and affording free play for expansion and contraction. Unsightly, sagging, air-bound runs of pipe coil need no longer be tolerated. The V-shaped spool makes it impossible for the Radiator to jump from the Bracket. The finger of the top Bracket guides the Radiator and keeps it from tipping forward. By the use of these Brackets, which permit a vertical AMERICAN PEERLESS WALL RADIATORS adjustment of 2 inches, the fitter can adjust for ‘“‘pitch”’ after they have been attached to the wall. The Single- Spool Brackets set the outer face of the Radiator 434 inches from the wall. Retaining bolt is 14 inch diameter. Bearing plates and bolts of ARCO and Arco Junior Ad- justable Wall Bracket are of wrought iron. The remainder of the Bracket is made of malleable iron. Arco Junior Wall Bracket The Arco Junior Wall Bracket is made for smaller units of radiation; it requires only one bolt for fastening, as shown; has an upright alignment of 11% inches and a hori- zontal slip of 1 inch. This type of Bracket can be economically used on all sizes of AMERICAN Peerless Wall Radiators where extreme expansion is not to be considered.

[19] Good Practice for Installing Ahee increasing use of AMERICAN Peerless Wall Radi- ators, hung on ARco Adjustable Wall Brackets to walls and partitions, prompts us to suggest the following simple and practical methods of installation, which insure good jobs. For attaching ARCo Adjustable Brackets to stone, cement or brick walls the proper use of the expansion bolt always gives the best results. Ordinary nails and screws frequently work loose, pull out or break and cannot be depended upon for secure and permanent work. Progressive fitters have found that the following method saves time and gives best results: To start the hole in the wall, use a “‘rose drill.’’ After carefully locating the hole centers, start the hole with light AMERICAN PEERLESS WALL RADIATORS blows of the hammer, being careful not to allow the drill to jump about. Thus a smooth bore is started without cracking the surface of the wall adjacent to the hole. After hole has been drilled about 14 inch use more force, being careful to turn the drill slightly between blows, as this prevents the cutting edges striking the same point twice and produces more rapid work. (Fig. 128.) Drill hole slightly deeper than the length of the shield to be inserted so that the lag screw will Fig. 129-B. Lag Screw in Ex- Fig. 128. Locat- pansion Bolt Shield ing and Drilling Hole Centers Fig. 129-A. Expansion Bolt Shield [20] —— a AMERICAN PEERLESS WALL RADIATORS project beyond the inner end and enable turning the work up tight to the wall when the screw is turned in. Where few holes are to be drilled a hand hammer with a rose drill will give good results, but for larger work requir- ing numerous holes a great saving in time may be made by using a “Rapid Fire”’ drill. This drill works similarly to a pneumatic hammer. After the hole is drilled accurately the shield can be in- serted by hand or lightly driven in by hammer. (F ig. 129.) Drive beyond the face of the wall. Then place the plate or bracket to be attached, over the shield; then insert lag screw by hand as far as can be turned and continue turn- ing with hand wrench or socket wrench in a brace until it has tightly drawn the work up against the wall. (Fig. 130.) Good Practice for Installing—Continued If lag screw binds at any point due to grit from wall, give it a reverse turn and then continue. By use of the expansion bolt as previously described, Arco Adjustable Brackets are held tightly and permanently against the wall in the simplest manner, Ped pdt ne Up tae making the installation enduring and “ship shape.” Illustrations on pages 6 to 8 and 45 to 48 suggest some of the ways in “4 which Radiators and Brackets may Fig. 131.

[24] AMERICAN PEERLESS WALL RADIATORS For Roundhouses and Bulkheads ANY engineers maintain that railroad roundhouses should be equipped with blower systems, but never- theless a great deal of Wall Radia- tion is used in this class of buildings. In many cases both systems are used. AMERICAN Peerless Wall Radiators are adapted excellently to round- house engine pits. They are narrow and, when mounted on Arco Adjust- able Wall Brackets, do not extend out more than 434 inches from the wall. They serve particularly well when the heating surface in these engine pits is recessed. Fig. 136. AMERICAN Peer- less Wall Radiator recessed inside wall of engine pit. AMERICAN Peerless Wall Radiator “A” sections are only 13,5, inches in height. Therefore a run of many of these rons assembled end to end, may be set in an engine pit at a pitch that is sufficient to in- sure perfect drainage. The new Arco Adjustable Wall Bracket is perfectly suited for the work that is required of it. The fact that its ad- justment may be accomplished after the Wall Radiators are set in place is exceedingly important. By reason of this feature the contractor using AMERICAN Peerless Wall Radiators finds that his labor item is agreeably reduced. AMERICAN Peerless Wall Radiators, used in bathrooms, halls, kitchens, food-packing plants, butcher shops, res- taurants, Turkish baths, laundries, lavatories, hospital operating rooms, sick wards, etc., leave a clear space be- neath them which can be easily scrubbed or cleaned.

Figs. 138, 152 and 153, on pages 26 and 30, show the Arco Trapeze Support employed in hanging an AMERICAN Peerless Wall Radiator, with its supply and return pipes, in addition to plumbers’ pipes. Any arrangement or combination can be as- sembled on the job quickly by using standard nipples or cut pipe slipped over rods between Supports. The ARCO Slip End Supports, in conjunction with the single and double ARco Trapeze Supports, permit many additional ae v % OR | PIPE No. Fig. 139. Arco Trapeze Support, Double.

[27] Arco Trapeze and Slip End Supports AMERICAN PEERLESS WALL RADIATORS FTEN it is highly desirable to employ AMERICAN Peerless Wall Radi- ators as Ceiling Radiators. Nothing detracts so greatly from the appearance of an installation as the employment of makeshift, insecure- appearing straps, bands, chains and the like, whereas the orderliness and neatness of the heating installation receive much favorable comment where the hanging of ceiling radiators and piping is simply and sturdily effected by use of these substantial and reliable ARCO Trapeze and Slip End Supports. Besides, these ARCO Trapeze and Slip End Supports permit easy adjust- ment in pitch of piping and radiators or conduits at any time, whether to make up for irregularities in setting or in settling of the building. The slight difference, if any, in cost is more than offset by the lower labor cost in erecting and adjusting these Supports. A few examples of arrangements of these Supports are illustrated in pages 26, 30 and 45 to 47. [28] Fig. 142. Arco Slip End Support, No.5.
