The pipes of the steam generator concern: the water inlet, the pump, the boiler and the valve. These pipes allow the proper routing of water in the water heating process, in order to create steam. These pipes must be maintained so as not to damage the internal electrical system of the steam generator.
The pipes are located:
- between the water inlet and the pump;
- between the pump and the valve;
- between the valve and the boiler.
