Note: Before actioning any installation observe the 'Safety information' in Section 1.
Referring to the Installation and Maintenance Instructions, name-plate and Technical Information Sheet,
check that the product is suitable for the intended installation:
3.1
Check materials, pressure and temperature and their maximum values. If the maximum operating
limit of the product is lower than that of the system in which it is being fitted, ensure that a safety
device is included in the system to prevent overpressurisation.
3.2
Determine the correct installation situation and the direction of fluid flow.
3.3
Remove protective covers from all connections and protective film from all name-plates, where
appropriate, before installation on a steam or other high temperature applications.
3.4
The trap is designed to be fitted in
vertical lines
with flow downwards so that it can be self-draining.
Check flow arrow for correct orientation. Fittings, clamps and gaskets for pipe end connections are
not supplied. Do not expose the element to superheat conditions since over expansion may result.
Installation should include a suitable cooling leg to avoid condensate back-up into process equipment
under normal operating conditions.
Caution: Do not overtighten clamp.
This may cause the seal to spread/extrude and interface with
element frame.
It is normally only necessary to take up slack and tighten the nut by half a turn
maximum.
3.5
If the trap is to be subjected to hydraulic testing (max pressure 15 barg) - it is essential that the
internals are removed and that the standard gasket is substituted for a Viton gasket.
When swapping out the gasket or removing the internals. the clamp should be re-torqued to 50 lbf.
in (5.65 Nm).
Note:
The body and element must be handled carefully to ensure that the machined surfaces are not damaged.
Note:
If the trap is to discharge to atmosphere ensure it is to a safe place, the discharging fluid may be at
a temperature of 100
°C (212
°F).
