Mounting kits The manifold is generally conveniently attached to the structural steelwork supporting the plant. For ease of insulation it is recommended that spacers are fitted to give the manifold a stand-off of at least 50 mm (1.97"). For convenience the following sets of mounting kit are available: - A single set comprising 2 off each stud, nut and spacer suitable for installing one MSC04-160 or MSC08-160. - A single set comprising 4 off each stud, nut and spacer suitable for installing one MSC12-160. - A multiple set comprising 12 off each stud, nut and spacer suitable for installing 6 x MSC04-160, 6 x MSC08-160 or 3 x MSC12-160. After installation it is recommended that the manifold is insulated to minimise radiated heat losses and to protect personnel from burn risks. This is most easily done using the optional insulating jacket. Steam distribution duty The recommended installation is with the steam inlet connection at the top of the manifold. A trap set should be fitted to the bottom. The discharge from this trap set should ideally be returned. If it is to be discharged to atmosphere we recommend that a diffuser is fitted. Condensate collection duty The recommended installation is with the condensate outlet at the top. The bottom of the manifold should be fitted with a stop valve for blowdown purposes. Again, we recommend that a diffuser is fitted (see TI-P117-10).
