steam line
Boiler's hot piping
A steam line is a pipe that carries steam from a boiler to where it's needed—radiators, turbines, or industrial equipment.
In power plants, steam lines connect the boiler to generators.
The term appears in maintenance contexts: Check the steam line for leaks.
By extension, any conduit system distributing steam through a building or facility.
