A stationary syphon system for heat exchanger rolls, particularly suited for use with steam heated rolls wherein condensate must be removed from the roll chamber, utilizing a pivoted pick-up conduit mounted upon a journal conduit which is rigidly supported against radial deflection by a bearing interposed between the journal conduit inner end and the roll structure. The bearing may be mounted within a tube insertable into the journal bore to facilitate maintenance and replacement, and the condensate receiving end of the pick-up conduit is very accurately positioned with respect to the roll chamber inner surface by a positive locking arrangement remotely operated at the journal outer end.
