Steam Separator Installation
Position the steam separator so that the steam inlet is always located on the top. The separator steam
outlet port must be aligned with the steam control valve inlet port and the distance between the two must
not exceed 8” (203 mm). Use the proper size of threaded pipe to connect the steam separator to the
control valve. Reducing coupling might be needed to perform the installation between the separator and
the steam control valve.

must be connected to the outlet of the jacketed distribution tube and must be positioned below the tube to
avoid a build up of condensate in any area in the piping.
