between the strainer and the steam trap
connections only.
6. Install a 1/2" 15 degree swing-check vacuum
breaker at the top of the return coil header using the
tapped pipe connection. Position the vacuum
breaker as close to the coil as possible.
N N o o t t e e : : Vacuum breakers should have extended lines
from the vent ports to the atmosphere or
connect each vent line to the return pipe on
the discharge side of the steam traps.
7. Install a "Gate" type valve in the supply branch line
as close as possible to the steam main and
upstream of any other device.
8. Install a "Gate" type valve in the return branch line
as close as possible to the condensate return main
and downstream of any other device.
9. Install a strainer as close as possible to the inlet of
the control valve and steam trap(s). Steam trap
selection should be based on the maximum
possible condensate flow and the recommended
load factors.
10. Install a Float-and-Thermostatic (FT) type trap to
maintain proper flow. It provides gravity drains and
continuous discharge operation. FT type traps are
required if the system includes either of the
following:
a. an atmospheric pressure/gravity condensate
return
or
b. a potentially low pressure steam supply.
11. Position the outlet or discharge port of the steam
trap at least 12" below the outlet connection on the
coil(s). This will provide adequate hydrostatic head
pressure to overcome the trap losses and assure
complete condensate removal.

If two steam coils are stacked together, they must
be piped in a parallel arrangement. The steps listed
below should be used in addition to the previous
steps.Figure 29, p. 49

a. Install a strainer in each return line before the
steam trap.
b. Trap each steam coil separately as described in

condensate backup in one or both coils.
c. In order to prevent condensate backup in the
piping header supplying both coil sections, a
drain must be installed utilizing a strainer and a
steam trap as illustrated in

Notes:
1. Type W coils, with center offset headers, are used in SLH*
units; type NS coils are used in SSH* units
2. See Digit 9 of the unit model number to determine the
heating capacity.
3. SSH*—40 to 75 ton units have multiple headers.
