Nortec SAM-e - Manual (Page 26)

23 | SAM-e Installation
Pressurized Plumbing without External Separator
Note: The SAM-e header functions as a steam separator, therefore an external steam
separator is not required.
• Steam components in grey provided by Nortec.
• Tap steam from top of pressurize steam main to avoid excess condensate.
• Condensate from SAM-e to be returned to atmospheric floor drain.
When pressurized steam enters SAM-e, pressure drops down to almost atmospheric pressure.
Therefore, it must be drained atmospherically, and the use of a condensate pump (rated for 212ºF)
must be used to raise condensate to a higher elevation.
