- Description:
- 41 degree, cast steel elbow, installed between penstock reducer section and needle valve in bay R-9 of the right powerhouse at Grand Coulee Dam. Eight needle valves, each having an 84-inch discharge, are being installed in the right powerhouse. The portion of the Columbia River stream flow not used through the turbines in the left powerhouse, is to be passed through the needle valves installed in the right powerhouse during the low water season. This plan will eliminate the use of the spillway during certain months of the year, assuring a minimum of turbulence in the water downstream from the dam, to facilitate necessary repairs to the concrete spillway bucket.
