    Without a whole lot more… but based on other things in this installation, I'm going to be that both of those connect to steam main extensions and were — once upon a time — dropped below the water line and then connected together. And now do NOT drop below the water line to connect.

    Which is going to give trouble.

    Where is this job, by the way?
