MAIN STEAM VALVE

Distribution pipework should be run from the main steam valve on the boiler to the steam delivery
point(s). Care should be taken to ensure that adequate condensate drainage and expansion
facilities are provided within the pipework run(s).
To prevent excessive loads being imposed on the main steam isolating valve, the pipework
should be secured near the boiler, ensuring adequate flexibility exists in the pipework between the
steam valve and the securing point, to minimise any loads imposed on the valve.
