Have a customer that wants to run 50 psi steam through some baseboard to heat an office. Absolutely will not reduce the pressure down. I know it would be better, but he refuses. Any experience with this?

    Everything...

    ... fittings, trap bodies, valves, heat emitters, etc. - in this proposed installation will have to be pressure & temperature rated for the worst-case situation. Remember that 50 PSIG is the OPERATING pressure, and you'll need to find the safety valve that protects this system, and see where it's set to lift. That safety valve setting will determine what steam pressure the installation - and all of it's individual components - must be rated for.
