It is good practice to cut the additional stud so that the top comes under the header as shown in Figure 1. One of the reasons for doubling studs at openings is to provide am- ple nailing surface for sheathing and finishing materials. As in the case of a doorway, doubling would also offer a more solid support when the door is slammed. It should be remembered, how- ever, that in all types of construc- tion, cost is a very important fac- tor. The method that produces the best results at a minimum of cost is the one that should be tised. Be- cause of the long flue-like spaces between the studs, fire stops are necessary to prevent the rapid spread of flames in case of fire. Fire stops are obstructions placed at afd midway between each floor level to prevent the spread of fire from one floor to another. They are also provided over partitions to prevent fire from passing through the floors and across the building. 'The obstructions are usually made of 2-inch lumber as shown in Figure 2.

Water should be hot enough to do the job required but not too hot to waste fuel or to cause danger of scalding, the Bureau points out. There are various ways in which the temperature of the water can be accurately controlled. The me - od to be used depends on the type of water heating equipment in the home and the purposes for which the water is being used. Dial Controls The newest types of direct-fired water heaters, such as those fueled equipped with accurate controls. In fact, some of the latest models have dial controls that are as easy to turn as the dial on a radio or tele- vision set. If the domestic water is heated indirectly by the same boiler which heats the house, the temperature of the water going to the bath- room, laundry, and kitchen will vary with the temperature of the water that goes to the radiators or other heat distributors. Because the temperature of the water for space heating in mid-winter may blender will automatically feed cold water into the line with the result | that the water brought to the fix | tures will not bz too hot. Relief Valve Irrespective of the type of water heating equipment, or the fuel used, the heater should be equipped with | an approved type of temperature | and pressure relief valve. In fact, | many municipalities require the | use of an approved type of temper- | ature and pressure relief valve on| all water heating equipment.

An inspection of the heating sys- tem when it is shut down this spring is a god tip to keep in mind, accord- ing to the Canadian Institute of Plumbing and Heating. Here are some points to check: Fost have your heating sys- checked and cleaned by your plumbing and heating contractor. This means clean- ing all soot and fly ash from heating surfaces, Have your heating plant in- _ spected for leaks in fire and flue cleaning doors. Be sure your chimney is clean and free from cracks. Clean and check the. smoke-pipe leading from the boiler or furnace to the chimney, mak- ing sure that it has not de- Yeloped leaks through corros- on, Be sure that damper doors, draft doors and chains and pulleys work smoothly. If you have a warm air heat- ing system, be sure the filters are clean. Replace or clean dirty filters. Check insulation on warm air ducts. "It is wise to get all of this work done in the spring when closing down the heat- ing plant because it is a slack time and service is more rea- dily available than in the fall, Weather forecasts this year indi- cate heavy rainstorms and result- ant flooding across the country in late April and early May.
