Important!
Use original Condair steam hose exclusively. Other types of steam hoses can cause
undesired operational malfunctions.
The following notes must be observed:
– Lead the steam hose with an
upslope of at least 20%
or with a
minimum downslope of 5%
to
the steam distribution pipe.
– The steam hose should be kept as short as possible (
ideally 2 m, max. 4 m
) while observing the
minimum bend radius of 300 mm
.
Important!
Allowance must be made for a
pressure loss
of 10 mm water column (approx. 100 Pa)
per meter steam hose.
– Reductions in the cross section such as kinks should be avoided throughout the entire length of
the hose. The installation of a stop cock in the steam hose is not permissible.
– Steam hoses must be prevented from sagging (condensate pockets); if necessary, support with
pipe clamps, rails or wall brackets. If sagging can not be prevented (e.g. when passing by obsta-
cles) a condensate drain with siphon (min. hose bend Ø200 mm) must be mounted at the lowest
point of the steam hose (see following illustration).

When deciding on the length and layout of the hose, it should be noted that the steam
hose may become somewhat shorter with progressive ageing.
