Steam venting is also present in sanitation use. This is true for both industrial level sanitation as well as domestic sanitation. A steam pipe can be used in a larger apparatus to allow people to harness steam. The steam can then be employed to clean different kinds of surfaces. Industries that use oil and coal as a source of fuel require soot blowers to clean furnace walls. These blowers have a hot air ductwork within them that release steam. The elevated temperature of steam is useful for breaking down and removing unwanted deposits in a particular area.

Turn the water back on by opening the main water valve. Check the water pressure with the gauge. Slowly tighten the water pressure regulator adjustment screw clockwise until you have your desired water pressure. I found out the correct pressure should be between 70 and 85 psi. It may be different for you depending on your house and where you live.

The first sign that something was wrong was there seamed to be a loss of water pressure in my house. Taking a shower, seamed like there was hardly any pressure. I hooked up the water pressure gauge and found that the pressure was fine. Running the water, into a bucket, made it easy to see that the flow of water was slower than it should be. I asked a neighbor if he was experiencing any loss in pressure or flow, since we are on the same water supply. He said that his water pressure and flow was fine. That removed the possibility that the problem may have been the water supply pressure or flow. This led me to believe that there was something wrong with my water pressure regulator.

Steam has proven itself to be a valuable resource for centuries, but only in recent history has it been employed in more sophisticated industrial applications. The development and expansion of steam pipe products is a testament to how important this high temperature water vapor is to our daily lives.

Steam is the resulting vapors given off by water when it is boiled at an elevated temperature and it is a very important component in many different kinds of industries. This vapor can have very high temperatures that make it hard to handle. Many industries make use of the steam pipe in order to handle the steam that is necessary for their equipment to function. Steam venting is a way to control and direct the flow of steam away from one area and into another. In today’s modern industrial world, steam is used for heating, propulsion, sanitation, and humidification. You can find hot air ductwork carrying steam in each of these applications.

I used a water pressure gauge to help trouble shoot the main problem and to make sure I adjusted the rebuilt regulator to the right pressure.

I should have gotten a large adjustable wrench for the top piece of the regulator, but instead used channel lock plyers.

A key requirement for a steam pipe is that it must be able to handle high temperatures. Steam related applications can involve temperatures ranging from 212° F to over 1400° F. As a result, a hot air pipe needs to be made of materials that are capable of handling higher than normal temperatures. Industries tend to favor steam venting hoses that are made from materials such as thermoplastics, silicones, and metals like aluminum and stainless steel because they can all survive direct contact with extremely hot air.

Once reaching the desired pressure, I let the water run for a bit and then double checked the pressure. I also checked to make sure there were no water leaks at the pressure regulator valve.

While sanitation is a more flexible and mobile use of a steam pipe, some applications require the steam venting to be fixed in one position for repeated and constant transfer of steam. Propulsion is another example of industrial steam use. Turbine-driven compressors and pumps make use of steam pipe products to transfer steam into specific areas. Hot air pipe products are usually fixed into a specific place so that the designated area can benefit from a steady and constant exposure to steam. Turbines require a stable source of energy in order to move and hot air ductwork that is stationary and non-flexible is useful for normal operations.

I thought I was going to have to use one pipe wrench to hold the main body of the regulator while I used the other pipe wrench to turn the top piece of the regulator, but the pipes going into and out of the regulator seamed sturdy enough.

Before taking apart plumbing, it is important to shut off the main water supply and relieve the pressure in the pipes. My main shut off valve is right beside the water pressure regulator. After closing the main water valve, I relieved the pressure, in the pipes, by opening a water valve and letting the water run until the pressure was relieved.

Rebuilding a water pressure regulator valve is easier than replacing one. I will show you how I rebuilt my water pressure regulator.

A steam pipe can also be employed in more commercial level applications like that in a steam room. Although the type of steam is of a lower temperature than what you may find in an industrial setting, it still requires the use of a hot air pipe that can handle elevated temperatures. If you ever happen to find yourself in a steam room or sauna at a fitness center, there is a high probability that these hot air ductwork being used to channel steam into the room.

The top o-ring, of the basket, needs to be lubricated before being inserted. The rebuild kit came with a small packet of silicone lube. After inserting the basket there is a washer that goes on top of the basket. Then the spring, spring top piece, and regulator top piece screw on top. This is easier if you have the pressure screw turned almost all the way out so there is hardly any pressure on the spring.

I turned on the main water to help flush out the main body of the regulator. To keep from making a mess, I used a piece of plastic to direct the water into a bucket. After rinsing out the regulator, I used an old t-shirt to clean out the inside of the regulator.

I used the 9/16" wrench to loosen the jam nut and then remove the pressure adjustment screw. I started loosening the top piece of the regulator by using a pipe wrench. I found that it was easier to use channel lock plyers. Carefully remove the top piece because there is a spring, a washer, and metal piece that will fall out. I found that the main spring was broken and this was probably the main reason that my water flow had decreased. I then used the channel lock plyers to remove the basket from the regulator main body.

Steam is used in these applications to raise the temperature of a particular material or product. After the steam heats the product, it needs to be released. How does all the steam get into the area and out again? The answer is simple: through the use of a steam pipe.

These days, steam is primarily used in heating applications as a source for both direct and indirect heat. Examples of some applications include food processing factories, refineries, chemical plants, boilers, and reactors. The steam pipe is responsible for transferring the hot air within the area of the application. A heat exchanger is a common industrial apparatus that uses steam. Steam is used in these applications to raise the temperature of a particular material or product. After the steam heats the product, it needs to be released. How does all the steam get into the area and out again? The answer is simple: through the use of a steam pipe.
