What to do that allows the unused apparatus steamer Cap to be removed during dual operations |
Minimize residual pressure to 0-5 psi by equalizing the flow pressure with the intake pressure. If the unused steamer has been replaced with some type of valve, the resudual does not have to be reduced. |
