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