Wrong Correct
1
Steam hose/steam hose piece not led at least 300 mm perpen-
dicularly upwards before rst bend (forming of condensate).
Lead steam hose/steam hose piece at least 300 mm (for steam
hose installations) or 1,000 mm (for solid pipe installation)
perpendicularly upwards before rst bend.
2 Minimum bend radius of steam hose/solid steam line not
maintained (forming of condensate).
The minimum bend radius of 300 mm for steam hoses or
5 times steam line internal diameter for solid steam lines
must be maintained.
3 Condensate trap not sufciently high and installed too near
at the steam distributor.
The condensate trap must be at least 300 mm below the con-
nector on the steam distributor and it must have a minimum
height of 200 mm (ø200 mm).
4 No condensate trap installed at vertical transition. Install condensate trap at all low points and before vertical
transitions.
5 Steam line and condensate hose not sloped. Install steam line always with constant up or downslope
of min. 15 % (8.5°) and condensate hose with constant
downslope of min.15 % (8.5°).
