warnInG

NEVER exceed these design ratings or application 
data. Exceeding design ratings or
application data may result in mechanical failure 
of gagecock components resulting in serious
personal injury or property damage.

3.2 steam application

Penberthy series N2 and K2 gagecocks are 
designed for process conditions. in low pressure 
steam/water applications (< 350 psig [2410 kPa] 
at 434°F [223°c], the use of N2 and K2 series 
gagecocks is allowed because the potential 
mechanical stress imposed on the gagecock 
assembly by the thermodynamic steam 
environment is relatively small.
