Fig. 22 is a radiator made up of eight single-column sections. In Fig.
23 is shown five three-column radiators, varying in height from 20 to
45 inches.
The sections of steam radiators are joined together at the bottom
with _close-nipples_, so as to leave an opening from end to end. The
sections of hot-water radiators are joined in the same manner, except
that there is an opening at both top and bottom. Fig. 30 shows the
openings of a hot-water radiator installed as _direct-indirect_ heater.
Fig. 24 illustrates a special form of radiator that is intended to be
placed under windows and in other places that will not admit the high
form. Such a radiator as that shown in the picture is often covered
with a window seat and in cold weather becomes the favorite place of
the sitting room. Another special form is that of Fig. 25. As a corner
radiator this style is much to be preferred to the ordinary method of
connection; here the angle is completely filled--there is no open space
in the corner.

hot-water heating.]
Wall radiators such as shown in Fig. 26 are made to set close to the
wall, where floor space is limited. They are particularly adapted for
use in narrow halls, bathrooms and other places where the ordinary type
could not be conveniently used.
A radiator that will appeal to all neat housekeepers is that of Fig.
27. It does not stand on the floor as in the case of the ordinary
type, but is hung from the wall by concealed brackets. The difficulty
of sweeping under this radiator is entirely avoided.
Fig. 28 is a radiator designed to furnish a warming oven for plates and
for heating the room at the same time. It is sometimes installed in
dining rooms.
