Steamout effluent catchment blind for tanks and pressure tanks

A method for redirecting fluid at a flanged connection, said flanged connection having two adjacent flanges, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing an apparatus having a flattened section suitable for insertion between the two adjacent flanges of the flanged connection, said flattened section having an inlet on the front face, and also having a tubular section suitable for attachment to a conduit, said tubular section having an outlet, wherein the interior of the flattened section is in communication with the interior of the tubular section;
• inserting said apparatus in the flanged connection with the front face and opening positioned so as to catch and re-direct said fluid;
• and
• creating a sealing engagement between the apparatus and the flanged connection so that fluid will flow from the flanged connection, via the inlet, to the outlet.
