H. STEAM PIPING HOOKUP
Piping must be installed in accordance with good commercial steam system practice.
It is your responsibility to have ALL steam plumbing connections made by a qualified professional to assure that the
installation is adequate and conforms with local and state regulations or codes.
Care must be exercised when leveling steam dryers in final position. After leveling the dryer, check the downward
pitch of the heat exchanger from front to rear with a level. Likewise, check the downward pitch of the return
condensate manifold toward its outlet part. Absence of these downward pitches will result in probable water hammer
and premature heat exchanger fracture and leakage.
The presence of condensate in the steam will cause water hammer and subsequent heat exchanger failure. The steam
supply connection must be taken from the top of a well dripped steam main. If the supply run out to the dryer
exceeds 20 feet (6.1 meters), it should be dripped just before the control valve with a proper trap and dirt pocket.
