Reasons for Incorporating High Point Vents (HPV) and Low Point Drains (LPD) in Piping Systems

High Point Vents (HPV) and Low Point Drains (LPD) are key components of a piping system that serve important functions:

1. High Point Vents (HPV):
• Allow trapped air to escape from the highest point in the system, preventing air locks and ensuring proper flow of liquids.
• Help in maintaining system efficiency by preventing air pockets that can hinder the flow of fluids.
• Facilitate easy bleeding of air during the initial filling of the system or after maintenance work.
2. Low Point Drains (LPD):
• Enable the removal of accumulated water or other liquids at the lowest point in the system, preventing corrosion and damage.
• Facilitate maintenance activities by providing a convenient drainage point for flushing, cleaning, or repair work.
• Prevent potential blockages or freezing issues by allowing for the removal of liquids that may cause obstructions.

Overall, incorporating High Point Vents and Low Point Drains in piping systems is crucial for maintaining system performance, efficiency, and longevity.
