The Apollo Valves Conbraco Industries 19 Series Safety Valve
Installation, Operation, & Maintenance manual states:
"Do not plug or obstruct valve body drain. A body drain line should be installed to dispose of condensate."
It further discusses condensate and drain lines and mentions the following:
Caution - During operation, this valve may discharge large amounts of high pressure steam, hot water, air or gas. To reduce the potential for bodily injury and property damage, a discharge line must be installed that:
a) is connected from the valve outlet to a safe point of discharge with no intervening valve;
b) allows complete drainage of the valve and discharge line;
c) is independently supported and securely anchored to avoid applied stress on the valve;
d) is as short and straight as possible;
e) terminates freely to atmosphere where any discharge will be clearly visible and is at no risk of freezing;
f) is, over it’s entire length, of a pipe size equal to or greater than the valve outlet. Use only schedule 40 pipe for discharge. Do not use schedule 80, extra strong or double strong pipe or connections. Do not cap, plug or obstruct discharge pipe outlet! If discharge is piped upward, a condensate drain must be provided in the elbow below the vertical pipe to prevent condensate from returning into the valve. A Conbraco Drip Pan Elbow is ideal."
It goes on to warn that:
"CAUTION! Hot, high pressure fluid may be discharged from body drain during lever test."
As there are many safety variables unique to each application, we cannot offer direct advice of field installations. Our suggestion is to ensure this application is reviewed by a licensed professional. All modifications and upgrades are done in accordance to standards set forth and mandated by the authority having jurisdiction and meet all local required safety codes.
