Heating buildings. - A valve for controlling the inlet of steam or other heating-fluid to radiators on a single-pipe system can be placed in three positions. In the first, fluid passes to the radiator via the pipe 3, aperture 12, space 16, aperture 14, and pipe 7, returning by the pipe 8, aperture 15, central tube 17, aperture 13, and pipe 2. The central piston slide can be moved into the position shown in Fig. 5, which cuts off both main connexions 2, 3 and radiator connexions 7, 8; or, by moving the slide still further to the left, the tubes 7, 8, and hence the radiator will be put into communication with the atmosphere through the ports 21, 22. In the modification shown in Fig. 7, the slide is altered, but still is capable of the three positions, viz.: with radiator communicating with main, as shown; both main and radiator connexions cut off; and the extreme position. when the ports 12, 13 are outside the supports 4, 6, with radiator open to the atmosphere. The pipes 2, 3 are formed with scoop-like ends 18, 19 projecting into the main pipe 1, so as to cause a circulation of the fluid through the heater.
