Steam piping

in Strictly Steam
Anybody have any experience piping a high pressure boiler with threaded stainless steel instead of welded. I am installing a Lattner HRT 15HP boiler that will operate at about 75 to 100 PSI with a PRV station taking it down to 30 PSI right at the boiler. This feeds a steam kettle about 25 feet away for food processes. I would like to use threaded pipe if possible. I sure do appreciate any responses.

Thank you

    Good luck with that

    I don't have any experience with steam at this pressure. However, I did work for a company that used fairly high pressure (60 psi) on water treatment system (large RO filters - 60 GPM). The one system we did with threaded stainless pipe, we could not get to seal watertight . In the end we welded every one of the threaded fittings. Every system afetr that used welded fittings and we never had another problem.
