General Requirements and Guidelines4.1 Fig. 1 shows a typical piping assembly for bottom-connected gages and Fig. 2 a typical piping assembly
10、 forback-connected gages.4.2 A siphon shall be used as shown in all gage applicationsfor steam systems to maintain a protective water seal betweenthe gage and the steam supply.4.3 Each assembly includes a test connection beyond thegage valve which consists of a tee with a14-in. NPT threadedplug in t
11、he branch. The plug is removable for the purpose ofinstalling a test gage for calibration. As an alternative, a gagevalve that incorporates a built-in test connection integral withthe valve may be substituted for the gage valve and test tee.4.4 Root connections should be kept to a minimum byconnecti
12、ng other instruments at the tee between the root andgage valves. There is no limit to the number of dead-end-typeinstruments that can be served from a single root connection.However, each instrument should have its own shutoff valveand, if desired, a test tee may be fitted at each instrument.4.5 Two
