This product is a separator trap for air that separates and discharges condensate
from air piping systems. Use only for air and/or air condensate. This product is for
intended use only. Improper use may result in such hazards as damage to the
product or malfunctions that may lead to serious accidents.
Install properly and DO NOT use this product outside the recommended
operating pressure, temperature and other specification ranges.
Improper use may result in such hazards as damage to the product or
malfunctions that may lead to serious accidents. Local regulations may restrict

Use hoisting equipment for heavy objects (weighing approximately 20 kg
(44 lb) or more).
Failure to do so may result in back strain or other injury if the object should fall.
Take measures to prevent people from coming into direct contact with
product outlets.
Failure to do so may result in burns or other injury from the discharge of fluids.
Do not use excessive force when connecting threaded pipes to the product.
Over-tightening may cause breakage leading to fluid discharge, which may cause

Installation, inspection, maintenance, repairs, disassembly, adjustment and valve
opening/closing should be carried out only by trained maintenance personnel.
1. Before installation, be sure to remove all protective seals.
2. Before installing the product, blow out the inlet piping to remove any piping
scraps, dirt and oil. Close the inlet valve after blowdown.
3. Install the product at the point on the piping where the separation of condensate
will have the greatest effect on efficiency. For example, on an air main or branch
at the inlet of equipment requiring high-quality dry air.
4. Install the product so the arrow on the product is pointing in the direction of flow.
5. The product should be inclined no more than 10° horizontally and front-to-back.
6. Install a separator outlet valve and separator outlet piping, and air trap outlet
fittings and air trap outlet piping.
7. To facilitate inspection and maintenance, install a union at the air trap outlet and
ensure that there is sufficient space for maintenance.
8. Open the inlet valve and outlet valves and check to make sure that the product
functions properly.
If there is a problem, determine the cause using the “Troubleshooting” section in this
