I was awaken

from the powerful prescribed drugs by these matters. I am calling on you, Wet Heads to shed some light on the subjects. A plumbing guy is a Plumber right? A cooling guy by the same analogy is a Cooler and a heating guy is a Heater, right? Something to think about....
Anyway, during the last 30 years where I had the chance to install small and big steam boilers, something always went through my french head. What should be the distance in between the last tee and that reduced elbow starting the equalizer? No one could tell me. I know about the nipples I might have on hands and the field configuration, but that did not cut it, so to speak... Also, in the case of a reverse retun take up, what should be the length in between the elbows coming off the boiler risers and the drops. Here also I know about nipples on hand and the field configuration. I never, I think, got a precise technical answer on that. Perhaps there is none.

Oh by the way, fruit cake is heavy to eat, but it does taste darn good with a little warm holiday cheer on it!!! Merry everything to All

From the equalizer side of the last takeoff to the far end of the equalizer is to be twice the header diameter and from the last steam riser to the dge of the system supply is 3 header diameters. These are minimums. Also you want to leave some space between the take offs to allow the water that is getting sucked up toward the sysetm supply to settle back down unto the bottom of the header before you get near the next supply.
