Description
GESTRA MSC-125 / MSC-160 GMF Manifolds for Steam Distribution Systems
A range of forged carbon steel compact manifolds with integral piston type stop valves for steam distribution and condensate collection duty.
MSC manifolds can be used for either steam distribution duty or condensate collection duty depending on the way they are installed.
Operation
In operation the piston valve should be either fully open or fully closed: It is not intended for throttling duties. As the piston valve has such a large sealing area it is not necessary to use a valve key to ensure dead tight shut-off. Please note that manifolds without piston valves fitted are also available.
Standards
This product fully complies with the requirements of the European Pressure Equipment Directive.
Certification
The product is available with certification to EN 10204 3.1. Note: All certification / inspection requirements must be stated at the time of order placement.
Available types, sizes and pipe connections
MSC manifolds are available with 4, 8 or 12 connections, with and without integral piston isolation valves designated:
MSC04-125, MSC08-125 and MSC12-125 with 125mm pitch respectively DN15 and DN20 screwed BSP, NPT or socket weld to B16.11 Class 3000 tracer ports are available as standard.
MSC04-160, MSC08-160 and MSC12-160 with 160mm pitch respectively DN15 and DN20 screwed BSP, NPT or socket weld to B16.11 Class 3000 tracer ports are available as standard.
The steam main / condensate return connection is DN40 socket weld to ASME B 16.11 as standard. Alternative connections, including flanged, are available on request.
