WARNING!
Risk of severe burns from contact with hot uids or steam!
The condensate lines may be lled with hot uids or steam. Bare skin in contact with hot uids
or steam can result in severe burns.
Prevention: Never plumb the condensate lines to empty into a sink used by personnel. Always
connect the lines to a oor drain according to applicable national and local plumbing codes.
– Condensate traps must also be installed at all low points and at horizontal-to-vertical transitions in
the steam line. The condensate drain lines should always connect to full-size "Tee" connectors in
the steam line. Refer to Figure 13 on page 31.
– The condensate lines must have a minimum downslope of 1.2°, with a minimum 12 in (300 mm)
diameter condensate trap, and connect to the building oor drain with condensate cooler (if required).
The condensate trap must be at least 12 in (300 mm) below the condensate "Tee" and the steam
distributor.
– For a steam line that is longer than 15 ft (4.5 m) up to the maximum recommended length, install
condensate lines and traps at regular intervals. The maximum distance between condensate lines
for long runs is 15 ft (4.5 m).
– Make sure that the condensate lines allow proper ow.
– Do not over-tighten the hose clamps on the condensate lines.
IMPORTANT! Before starting up the unit, prime the condensate traps with water.
