STEAM PIPING The necessity of keeping the plant running has requiredconsiderable ingenuity in piping, in order that too greatexpense be not incurred in temporary work. The per-manent plans provide for feeding the three large units di-rect from the main header on the north side of the boilerroom. The i8oo-kw units are fed from a ring system ofpiping with the main steam header forming a portion of a rather novel manner. Where the pipes curve to pass be-low the floor, two 7-in. pipes were substituted for the singlelo-in. pipe, by the use of manifolds. Fig. 6 shows this ex-pansion curve in detail. The Holly drip system is installed in connection withthe steam piping, all drips draining to three pots locatedin the basement.
