The use of a drip pan elbow is
highly recommended for steam service safety valves. When attached to a
safety valve outlet, these elbows collect and remove condensate as
well as isolate the valve from discharge piping stresses. Elbows
through 4'' feature female NPT threads and connect to the valve outlet
by means of a close nipple. The 6'' and 8'' elbows have integral 125#
ANSI B16.1 flanges and bolt directly to the valve outlet. |

Drip Pan Elbow: Description/Function
Question: What is a drip pan elbow,
and what is its function?
Answer: cast-iron or steel drip pan or discharge
elbows are special pipe fittings used on the discharge, of steam
safety valves.
When a steam safety valve relieves, steam is blown into the atmosphere.
Depending on the steam pressure and temperature, as much as 10 percent
or more condenses immediately. Hot condensation full of treatment
chemicals will run back down the inside and outside of the discharge
piping.
Drip pan elbows collect and drain the condensation to safe areas, such
as floor drains. This keeps the safety valve from filling with water.
Drip pan elbows also prevent injury and damage to people, equipment or
supplies located below the safety valve, or discharge piping.
