Dripleg – Is a pipe extending downward from the bottom of the airline to collect any condensation flow in the pipe. It comprises of a piece of the pipeline that extends vertically downward, providing a means to capture water droplets in the airline and prevent or reduce them from flowing through other devices or into a process. Drip legs can often be combined with bleed or drain valves or other types of valves that allow accumulated moisture to be drained from the line. While this doesn’t guarantee the moisture will not travel farther down the line, it is a great first line of defence to prevent it from doing so.
