What is it??
(OP)
My maintenance guys uncovered this under some insulation. They weren't sure what it was, so they asked me. I also wasn't sure. I suspect a check valve, but it was too corroded to read any of the letters on the body. It also does not look like any piping component I have seen. One side looks like a bullet head (non-hollow point, that's a joke for the fellow gun guys) and the other has a threaded pipe cap. So what is it?





RE: What is it??
a) Check the files to see if there are any P&ID's then look up the specific system.
b) In the meantime have the maintenance guy take a wire brush to it and clean it up.
c) Then take some more pictures for posting.
d) Tell us what is upstream and down stream of this object to the first piece of equipment in each direction.
Sometimes its possible to do all the right things and still get bad results

Isolation valve upstream and flow orifice downstream.
I looked at it more closely and it looks like a split tee that was welded on. I think it may have been a past leak repair. Not sure what the bullet head is for though.

Are you going to risk taking the cap off??

I would have thought curiosity would have made you look - Have you got rid of the dumpster yet?
