Photo 2-6. One of two large Class 150 steel valves coming off the 12” steam main whose flange gaskets are leaking steam due to broken Anchor-20 at DSB north. (Refer to photo 1-10). Note elbow and valve are cocked out of plumb by push from pipe at left.

Leaking gaskets only get worse. They must be repaired.
