Nope
As far as I know a #1 and a #D are identical other than the connection styles.Single pipe quasi-vapor system. Typical operating pressure 0.14 - 0.43 oz. EcoSteam ES-20 Advanced Control for Residential Steam boilers. Rectorseal Steamaster water treatment0 -
CFM will be differnet
#1 comes in larger stem sizes of 3/8", 1/2" and 3/4" while the D only comes in 1/8" and 1/4" stems. Smaller diameter input means less available output.0 -
but isn't the
output the same? thy both vent the same amount of air in the same amount of time.0 -
Testing
The D and 1 tested identical according to Balancing steam systems by Gerry Gill and Steve Pajek.
So this means an 1/8" pipe vents fast enough for a #1.
Either way a #1 and a #D perform the same.Single pipe quasi-vapor system. Typical operating pressure 0.14 - 0.43 oz. EcoSteam ES-20 Advanced Control for Residential Steam boilers. Rectorseal Steamaster water treatment0
