Abstract

This specification covers details of gage piping assemblies for pressure gages with optional provisions for additional gages, pressure switches, transmitters, and so forth, for use with steam, steam drains, feed water, condensate, fresh water, salt water, compressed air, fuel oil, and lubricating oil systems. A siphon shall be used as shown in all gage applications for steam systems to maintain a protective water seal between the gage and the steam supply.
