Steam Line Installation
1. Nortec steam hose should only be used on short steam runs below 10 feet.
2. Ensure that no condensate produced in the steam line will remain trapped. Steam naturally
flows upward and condensate naturally flows downward.
3. See material recommended for use in the chart below. To eliminate the metal corrosion,
nortec does not recommend the use of steel piping.
4. Consult the following pages for step by step distributor installation starting with figure 1.
5. Consult the charts below for steam and condensate sizing guidelines when using steam
distributors.
