It does things to the things in the things the pipes are made out of if you get me
To take up the thermal stresses which build up as when a metal is heated it expands and when it cools it contracts. If the pipe is straight without a bend the thermal stress will cause it to buckle, it will develop a kink, or may even crack - defeating its very purpose so the bends
Use fittings.
The pips in a steam heating system need to be insulated to prevent condensation. Condensation can lead to mold and or freezing of the steam pipes in the winter.
Place a bucket beneath the 'U' bend to catch any water, and undo the pipe joints to remove the 'U' bend. Clean the pipes and 'U' bend as much as possible, before replacing the 'U' bend and tightening the joints (usually by hand if the pipes are plastic).
expansion of the pipes due to high temp. if not installed correctly the results will be damaging and in some cases fatal
steam pipes.
The steam flows through a grill of pipes and the heat radiates from the pipes to the room.
Steam carrying pipes

avoid the pipes that shoot steam it will happen in the third and fifth rescue.
No That is usaully do to an over pressure of the water system
With a paintbrush.
Use fittings.
