2. Sizing of copper discharge pipe “D2” for common temperature valve outlet sizes.
WORKED EXAMPLE
The example below is for a G

temperature & pressure relief valve with a
discharge pipe (D2) having 4 no. elbows and length of 7m from the tundish to
the point of discharge.

Maximum resistance allowed for a straight length of 22mm copper discharge
pipe (D2) from G

temperature & pressure valve is 9m. Subtract the resistance
for 4 no. 22mm elbows at 0.8m each = 3.2m. Therefore the maximum permitted
length equates to: 5.8m. As 5.8m is less than the actual length of 7m therefore
calculate the next largest size.
Maximum resistance allowed for a straight length of 28mm pipe (D2) from G

/
2
temperature & pressure valve equates to: 18m. Subtract the resistance for 4 no.
28mm elbow at 1.0m each = 4m. Therefore the maximum permitted length
equates to: 14m
As the actual length is 7m, a 28mm (D2) copper pipe will be satisfactory.
