Capacities in kg/h of saturated steam
Where steam supply pressures are higher consider the use of a pressure reducing valve or alternatively, the use of a combined pressure
reducing and temperature control valve. Please consult Spirax Sarco for a suitable type.
Note: All equipment is available screwed BSP or NPT.

An isolating valve is recommended upstream of the Y-type strainer.
Consider the use of an M10 Spirax Sarco carbon steel ball valve or a HV3 bronze stop valve.
