The ultimateSAM Direct Steam Humidification System has a variety of inlet
adapters, allowing maximum flexibility to meet the particular needs of the
installation. All of the adapters are made of stainless steel and are sized to
connect easily to all of other ultimateSAM equipment, like valves.
5.1 Inlet adapter kits (SAKI******)
The choice of steam inlet connections for the system is shown in Figure 5.a.
The choices include:
•
150mm (6") extension
•
8-to-1, 4-to-1 and 2-to-1 adapters for 40 mm (1.6") pipes
•
Threaded pipe adapters
-
Elbows and straight
-
1", 1½", 2", and 2½" sizes
•
Straight adapters for 40mm ( 1.6") and 80mm ( 3.2") steam pipes
The system for identifying inlet adapters is described in Table 5.a.
Note: Not all of the possible combinations shown on the table are
available. A complete list of available inlet adapters is provided in
Section 5.2.

Each adapter is shipped in a kit that includes a gasket and fasteners for
attaching the adapter to the distributor. For weights and dimensions of the
adapters, see "Technical specifications" .
Note: For installations requiring an extended inlet for the distributor,
a 150 mm (6") extension adapter (SAKIX80100) is also available. The
extension adapter has the same mounting flange on both ends.

Example: a SAKIT40200 is an ultimateSAM inlet adapter that has the
following features:
•
2 inlets (suitable for dual outlet atmospheric humidifiers; see Fig.4.b)
•
Elbow for 40mm internal diameter tube
Note: Figure 5.b also shows the SAKIX801000 inlet extension.
5.1.1
Steam inlet adapters for SA0 (single-pipe)
The ultimateSAM SA0 has a steam inlet with 1 ½" GAS or 1½ " NPT (North
American) fitting. When supplied with pressurised steam no adapters need
to be used, simply connect the steam inlet on the manifold to a 1 ½" GAS
(1 ½ " NPT) pipe.
If the distributor is supplied with steam at atmospheric pressure, a stainless
steel adapter is available for installation directly on the manifold inlet.
This adapter features GAS or NPT female thread. The adapter guarantees
connections to 40 mm rubber hoses; secure the hoses to the adapter using
a clamp. The codes for the steam inlet kits are shown in Tables 5.b & 5.c.
