g. Water pockets in the supply line, caused by low points, will provide wet steam to the coil possibly causing

steam coil damage.

ALL

horizontal runs of steam supply piping

should be

pitched 1/4-inch (6.35 mm)

for every 1 foot (0.30 meters) back towards the steam supply header causing the condensate in the line
to drain to the header. Install a bypass trap in any low point to eliminate wet steam.

IMPORTANT

: Flexible hose/coupling

must be

used. Coil failure due to hard plumbing connections

will

VOID THE WARRANTY.
