3.6 Steam and condensate connections :

There is always a risk that a certain amount of water will be carried in steam.
Water is carried in the lower parts of the supply tubes, and steam in the upper parts.
Make a swan neck branch-T on the main tube to prevent this water damaging the machine heating system. This will
ensure that only steam is retrieved without any condensed water.
3.6.1

Steam connection DN 20 (3/4" BSP) :

The customer must install a line purge, a manually closing valve with handwheel lockable in off position (do not use a
1/4 turn valve) and a filter on the supply side of the ironer.
The customer must install a safety valve if the boiler used operates at a pressure over the acceptable vapour of 1000
kPa maxi (10 bar).
The connection of a safety valve is compulsory in order to conform to the pressurised equipment directive
(DESP)
The valve must be CE certified in category IV.
Its size must vary according to the characteristics of the boiler, to the volume of the pipes upstream of the valve
and the volume of the appliance to be protected.
The drainage connector of the safety valve must absolutely be connected to the outside of the building and out of
reach human interference (on the roof for example).
