● OPTIONAL, in case of contaminants: To remove any contaminants within the
steam source, installing a steam strainer is recommended. See K-Patents list of
recommended accessories.
● OPTIONAL, in case of excessive pressure: If the steam pressure exceeds to
maximum pressure differential, a pressure reducing valve (PRV) needs to be
