Steam heating. For the benefit of the brain dead.

It is possible for things to serve more than one purpose. You have now been cited the actual words from the manufacturer's manual which sets out the multiple purposes of the Ready to Serve indicator.

The human brain is similarly able to do many things - eg rehearse what a person knows but also to take on new evidence so a person learns - unless of course it is a faulty brain.

And what happens if the plumber drops some peanuts in the pipe while he is doing his job, does he have to attach, may contain nuts to it as well. My favorite of these revolves around the various labels you find attached to mains plugs which vary between. Only to be fitted by a qualified electrician, to do not wire while plugged into a live outlet. The question which sprang to mind here was, if its plugged in how do you put the top back and do up the screw?

I guess you would not care you would probably be dead by then. Unfortunately I can no longer fit plugs myself as all the wires feel the same to me..... Brian

Y pattern strainers (filters) are fitted at critical places in steam pipe installations to protect vulnerable components. Mostly to catch bits of crap in the system.

It's and air vent with an indication as to when it's open and the lid can be safely removed.

Nothing to do with over pressure. The hole in the middle isn't big enough to vent off all the energy being put in. If the whole rubber thing blows out, it's down to lack of maintenance. It would be very dangerous to a bystander.

The failsafe device is the rubber seal between container and lid. This will deform and release any over pressure. Also if the thing boils dry, it will melt and release pressure.

Have you even bothered to look at pages 9 and 10 of the manual for which the link was posted?

As soon as he's put the shovel down, he might. But don't hold your breath.

We already know these things. Why not hire a JCB so you can dig deeper faster?

Call a spade a spade, and shovel a bloody shovel.

He'll need a spade for his hole. Or a shovel and a mattock.

Did we miss your apology, or is that still to come?

Bloody nitpickers! Last time I called a spade a spade, the PC brigade were all over me like a rash.

The list is long and he is a tad confused which apology should be first.
