Steam Sterilizer Header and Unit Test Port Details.pdf

This document is a technical drawing depicting the steam sterilizer header and unit test port details for a steam sample cooler system used in VA (Veterans Affairs) medical facilities.

The drawing illustrates a complex piping assembly with multiple components including a 2½" new GO plug steam header connection at the top, a sterilizer/autoclave unit, and associated test ports and drainage systems. Key specifications shown include various pipe diameter measurements (ranging from ¼" to 2½"), connection points to a condenser header and existing GO ptsg (gauge/test) steam header, a steam sample cooler (the central component), sample collection bottle, cooling water circulation path, and floor drain outlet. The second page provides an expanded "New steam header detail" showing the ceiling-mounted configuration with additional components such as isolation ball valves, condensate vacuum trap, steam separator (1½" x 1⅝"), and multiple test ports arranged along the main header line with 2½" pipe sizing at the terminal end. The drawings include handwritten annotations specifying component sizes, connection types, and references to existing infrastructure. This appears to be technical specification documentation for retrofitting or upgrading steam sterilization testing infrastructure at a VA medical facility.
