STEP 2: INSTALLING STEAM PIPING
Typical piping connections are shown in Figure 2.3. All
external piping must be supported by hangers, not by
the boiler or its accessories.
Supply outlet must run full size from boiler to a header at
least 24" above top of boiler. Condensate return piping
should be connected to boiler through a "Hartford Loop."
Install gate valves in supply and return.
Proper steam piping practices must be followed at all
times. Maintain proper clearances between piping and
combustible material.
The supply and return lines should be equipped with
drain cocks to drain sediment and sludge from lowest
points of boiler.
