Proper drip leg sizing is important for condensate removal and dry steam.

I read a lot about it in the textbook & I was able to understand I would say 40% so thanks to your video, I was able to increase my knowledge to 85%. Thanks a lot! 🤴

Would you ever have to blow down a drip leg? If so how often?

[@thearch1tect249]

You shouldn't have to. The steam trap at that drip leg will remove any condensate that accumulates. Only time i have ever removed a cap off a drip leg was on the gas line right at the boiler during the annual take down for inspection. I did it as apart of my PM.
