Steam Bulletin

Improve steam system performance with the right accessories
Steam Bulletin is TLV's free bimonthly email magazine on steam systems, energy efficiency, product selection, and more.
Don't overlook the value of having the right valves and other accessories installed on your steam system.
When we say "accessories", we refer to check valves, strainers, sight glasses and other equipment that protect assets such as steam-using equipment and improves the overall reliability of the steam system.
These products are thought of as consumables, but they can mean the difference between optimal performance of the steam system, or operational problems like condensate back-up into equipment, water hammer damage, or frozen pipes or traps in winter.
Learn more about the steam system accessories that keep your steam system in shape.
Product Focus
Check Valves
Check valves are typically installed...
- If a condensate line is submerged
- If a common collection line is used
- If there is a vertical rise in piping
- If there is positive pressure from a vent that is too small
- If an intermittent pump discharges high-temperature condensate
Product availability and delivery times vary by region.
