My steam generator (Thermasol) instructions say that the steam line can only go up one time between the generator and the steam head. But the steam line already comes straight up out of the generator. Is this the one time it can go up? Or can it go down and then up one more time?

I have a situation where the line comes UP out of the generator and then goes down. But before it gets to the steam head I need it to go up again about 10 inches to get over a beam. However, it won't come close to going back up to the same level as the generator, when it goes up it would be several feet below the generator.

Would that scenario be OK? Or do I need to figure out another route where the steam line only goes down?

TIA!

It should ONLY go continuously upward, or downward. If it goes down and then up, it will create a pocket where steam will condense into water and then the water will spray out of the nozzle when the pressure builds up behind it.
