What’s the issue with valves being connected to the outlets of the equipment?
Thread Content
When connecting a valve to the outlet of a device, is it done directly or with a straight pipe section at one end? Is this related to the pipe diameter? What are the advantages of each approach? We currently connect them directly – does this affect the strength of the outlet? If a straight pipe section is required, what are the typical length requirements?

The weight of the valve is exerted directly on the pipe end, which is not good for it...
A section of straight pipe should be installed first. . Valves are generally very heavy. . Otherwise, the stress on the nozzle opening will be too high. Prone to problems
Either is acceptable; connecting it directly to the flange at the device’s outlet prevents fluid from accumulating in the pipeline between the outlet and the valve during shutdowns for maintenance. In particular, at the device’s discharge outlet, it is generally required that the valve be connected directly to the device outlet.
