Can’t tell you that, too afraid to ‘Mess with Texas’.
Drove through more than once, between the ice storms, tornados, and speeding tickets, I’ve learned my lesson. Originally Posted By: mboyett

For future questions it might be a good idea to add one more answer.
O… I don’t know to see how many have the courage to admitt they do not the answer.
Roy sr. … PS… I do not know the answer.
I do know that water when it turns to steam expands ( 1200) times
Did you know that.
I also think the speed could be controled by pressure ?
No pressure it becomes a rocket ship.

When water freeze in a pipe it can produce up to 28,000 psi.
Roy taught me that

I thought it was 20,000 but still a hell of a lot of pressure I understand for a 1/2 in pipe to stand the pressure it would need a 2 inch wall.
I have a lot of usless information and some good info.
It just getts harder to find like my car keys ,They must be here some where

Yes your pipes could feeze Turn on a tap slow and leave it run.
Running your water constant should stop the pipes from freezing.
The water will be at aprox the year round temp for your area about 50 degrees.
You can shut the water off next April it should be OK then .
You can also put a heat cable on the pipes where they are close to the outside and might freeze cost little for the peace of mind.
Is it your home or do you rent .

The first time I did not vote I thought they where all wrong .
I guess I was wrong instead.

Looks like I was wrong to think I was wrong.
According to these tables steam travels a lot faster then 25 MPH.
http://appserver.ittind.com/software/HSapps/steampipes/pipe3.htm
Reasonable Velocities for Fluid Flow through Pipes:
FLUID
PRESSURE PSI
(GAGE)
SERVICE
VELOCITIES - FPM
Saturated Steam 0 ? 15
Heating mains
4,000 ? 6,000...( Feet Per minute is close to 70 MPH)
Saturated Steam 50 ? up
Miscellaneous
6,000 ? 8,000
Superheated Steam 200 ? up
Turbine and
Boiler Leads
10,000 ? 15,000
