    Study Notes

    Outlet Connections

    • Outlet connections are tapings in a boiler drum or shell for connecting external piping and fittings.
    • These connections are used to connect the boiler to various controls, instruments, or fittings.

    Outlet and External Piping

    • External piping that leads to and from a boiler up to the first valve (or sometimes, the second valve) is considered boiler external piping.
    • Boiler external piping falls under the technical jurisdiction of ASME B31.1 Power Piping Code.
    • ASME BPVC I also provides guidance on the required configuration of boiler piping systems.

    Steam Piping

    • When two or more boilers are connected to a common header, or when a single boiler is connected to a header having another steam source, each boiler with a manhole opening must be fitted with two stop valves having an ample free-blow drain between them.
    • The required steam shut-off valves must be equipped with a position indicator to show whether the valve is open or closed.

    Feedwater Piping

    • Feedwater piping for power boilers must be provided with a check valve and a stop valve between the check valve and the boiler.
    • The check valve prevents the boiler from draining through the feedwater line when the boiler feedwater pump is not running.
    • The stop valve permits isolation of the feedwater line for maintenance and repair without draining the boiler.

    Blowoff Piping

    • All boilers with an allowable working pressure over 100 psig (690 kPag) must have two slow-opening blowoff valves, or one quick-opening valve at the boiler nozzle, followed by a slow-opening valve.
    • Slow-opening valves help the operator reduce thermal shock with a gradual, controlled warmup of the blowoff line.

    Miscellaneous Piping

    • ASME B31.1 Part 122.1.6 covers miscellaneous piping, including water level indicators, water columns, gauge cocks, and pressure gauges.
    • Fittings attached to a low-pressure steam boiler include steam outlet stop valve, feedwater inlet stop and check valves, blowoff valves, vent valve, water level controls, and pressure gauge.

    Steam Outlet and Stop Valve

    • The steam produced in the boiler leaves through the steam outlet, and flows through the main header to the branch lines, which distribute the steam to the various parts of the system.
    • A stop valve shall be used in each supply and return pipe connection of two or more boilers connected to a common system.

    Feedwater Connection and Check Valves

    • The feedwater connection is the point at which the water enters the boiler.
    • Feedwater shall not be introduced through openings or connections provided for inspection or cleaning, safety valve, water column, water gage glass, or pressure gage.
    • A check valve near the boiler and a stop valve or cock shall be installed either upstream or downstream of the check valve.

    Bottom Blowoff Valves

    • All steam heating boilers must have bottom blowoff connections connected to the lowest water space practicable.
    • The size of the blowoff line varies with the boiler steam production capacity.

    Outlet Connections

    • Outlet connections are tapings in a boiler drum or shell for connecting external piping and fittings.
    • These connections are used to connect the boiler to various controls, instruments, or fittings.
