Ideal Dead End Installation on Steam Lines | Steam Trap and Air Vent Installation

Due to the slope in the steam line, condensate will accumulate at dead ends within the steam pipeline network. If drain pockets and steam traps are not present at these dead ends it will lead to frequent failures of the flange gaskets due to water hammer as well as result in supply of wet steam to the process.
Condensate typically accumulates at dead ends since the lines have a slope. Absence of a trap results in water hammering, recurring gasket failures, damage to the pipeline and steam leaks.
