be located at all low points in the
system, at each elevation change
and or directional change.
(4) Horizontal runs of steam must
have a 2" rise per foot (10°) when
flow is going away from drip station
and the steam run is to fall ½" per
foot (2°) when flow is going
towards drip station.
(5) In a horizontal run of the steam
main, drip stations must be located
at regular intervals of 20 feet.
(6) The drip station itself is a section
of piping connected to the bottom
of the main. A full size tee must be
used to create a drip station to
allow the condensate to fall in the
drip station.
