Each boiler connection has a 10-in. stop valve, not only at theboiler outlet, but also close to the header. The engine connec-tions are each also provided with two valves, one the enginethrottle and the other the angle valve just above the is an important provision to protect idle boilers or enginesin case of leaky valves. The outer ends of the header are closedwith blank flanges. As will be noted, all connections are madeto the header at the top side, there being no openings from thelower side except the drain connections. The connecting pipesare all arranged with long radius bends to provide for expan-sion; the sharpest bends are those of 4-ft. radius, which leadfrom each section of the header to the auxiliary steam heade
