Hi, I’ve got a No 4 horizontal injector and the pipe size’s are 3/16 in for the water and steam supply. Can I go down a pipe size to 5/32 in for the steam inlet supply. Will this be okay to work the injector.

Injectors can be very fussy ! The steam cone will be a lot smaller than your pipe bore and given that it doesn’t have a long run it should work all other factors being equal. An adequate supply of COLD water and NO air leaks is vital. All you can do is try it. Good luck. Noel.
