S Trap Installation on the Steam Line
The lowest point of any steam hose or rigid pipe must be the humidifier. If the humidifier
cannot be the lowest point of the piping, install one or more steam traps (S Type) at the
lowest point(s) of the steam supply piping. The steam separator (S trap) must be installed
higher than the static pressure of the system by at least 51mm.
