RE: Single pipe system vs muilti pipe system

Is this for residential building heating? One pipe steam heating systems sort of stopped being installed in the early 1900s. There are still a huge number out there, especially in the US northeast. By the time domestic steam heating systems stopped being installed in new houses in the '40s, they had long since evolved into the two pipe design.

If there was one book I'd get hold of, it would be "The Lost Art Of Steam Heating", by Dan Holohan. You can get it at his web site www.heatinghelp.com under the "Books & More" heading. If you have questions regarding this type of heating system, another heading on the same site is "The Wall". It's a bulletin board, and there are some very knowledgeable contractors who have worked extensively with this type of system.
