Troubleshooting
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.
WARNING
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.
CAUTION
When the product fails to operate properly, use the following table to locate the
cause and remedy.
Problem
Cause
Remedy
No condensate is
discharged
(blocked)
or discharge is poor
The float is damaged or filled with
condensate
Replace with a new float
The orifice opening, screen or
piping are clogged with rust and
scale
Clean parts
The trap operating pressure
exceeds the maximum specified
pressure or there is insufficient
pressure differential between the
trap inlet and outlet
Compare specifications and
actual operating conditions
The specific gravity of the fluid is
not suitable for this product
Consult TLV
Gas is discharged
or leaks from the
outlet*
(blowing)
(gas leakage)
Rust and scale have built-up
around the orifice or beneath the
float
Clean parts
The orifice is scratched or
damaged
Replace with a new orifice
The float is misshapen or coated
with scale
Clean or replace with a new float
Improper installation orientation
Correct the installation
Trap vibration
Lengthen the inlet piping and
fasten it securely
Gas is leaking from
a place other than
the outlet
Gasket deterioration or damage
Replace with new gasket(s)
Improper tightening torques were
used
Tighten to the proper torque
* The GAS1N/GAS2N/GAS3N with metal valve seat has a minimum condensate load
requirement to ensure proper sealing (see “Specifications”).
