[Steam-engine] boiler feedwater injector conection

[Ken Majeski]

Well as long as were talking about feedwater iI would like to mention 
something... I see many boilers at shows where the feedwater is piped to a 
elbow at the boiler. You should always use a T or a cross there as that way 
you can take out the plug and inspect and clean the nipple as in hard water 
they can lime up pretty quickly. Also it will allow you to keep tabs on the 
pipe condition there.

I mention this to the people with the engines and they look at you like your 
talking Greek or something...???
