Important
The blowdown connection should be piped directly to an independent covered drain, or tundish with removable lid,
capable of accepting the full discharge without danger of blow-back. The bore of blowdown pipe should not be less
than 12mm and the length should be kept as short as possible. Sight glasses must not be fitted in the blowdown
line.
