Disassembly / Reassembly
Warning
NEVER apply direct heat to the float. The float may explode due to increased internal pressure,
causing accidents leading to serious injury or damage to property and equipment.
Caution
When disassembling or removing the product, wait until the internal pressure equals
atmospheric pressure and the surface of the product has cooled to room temperature.
Disassembling or removing the product when it is hot or under pressure may lead to discharge of
fluids, causing burns, other injuries or damage.
Use the following procedures to remove components. Use the same procedures in reverse to
reassemble. (Installation, inspection, maintenance, repairs, disassembly, adjustment and valve
opening/closing should be carried out only by trained maintenance personnel.)

Consult the table of tightening torques and
tighten the wing nut to the proper torque; open
inlet valve and allow live steam to enter and
heat the trap, then close the inlet valve; after
the internal and atmospheric pressures have
equalized and the trap surface has cooled,
tighten the wing nut to the proper torque again
Steam may leak if the wing nut is not re-
tightened
