CX SERIES Installation, Operating & Maintenance Manual
STEAM PIPING (3/4" NPT)
Do not install any valve in steam
piping. The flow of steam must be unobstructed.
CX Steam Generators must be
installed with one or more steamheads per generator.
Two steamheads per generator is recommended and
will result in reduced noise. For installations of
tandemed CX Steam Generators, each generator must
be installed with one or more steamheads.
Never use less than 3
⁄
4” steam piping
from generator. Using less than 3/4” steam piping will
result in increased velocity of steam coming out of
the steamheads and may result in scalding and
personal injury.
Install steam piping as required
(including routing, fittings and length of pipe) to
ensure an equal amount of steam reaches each
steamhead. Unequal steam piping will result in too
much steam coming out of one steamhead and may
result in scalding and personal injury.
Use brass pipe or copper tubing from
unit to steamhead as permitted by codes.
Insulate steam piping with fiberglass
pipe insulation or similar insulation rated 212° F or
higher.
Pitch steam piping 1/4" per foot
towards steamhead or steam generator to avoid
valleys and trapping of condensate. Running the
steam piping down and then up will create a steam
trap blocking or restricting the flow of steam.
Models CX1600 to CX5000 are made of
multiple steam generators. Each steam generator
must be plumbed separately to a dedicated steam
line and dedicated steamhead.
