Installation 

 

 

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 which may lead to serious accidents. Local regulations 

may restrict the use of this product to below the conditions quoted.

 

CAUTION 

 

 

 

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. 

CAUTION 

 

 

 

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.

 

CAUTION 

 

 

 

Do not use excessive force when connecting threaded pipes to the 

product. Over-tightening may cause breakage leading to fluid 

discharge, which may cause burns or other injury.

 

CAUTION 

 

 

 

Use only under conditions in which no water hammer will occur. The 

impact of water hammer may damage the product, leading to fluid 

discharge, which may cause burns or other injury.

If water hammer due to steam backflow in the condensate 
recovery line is expected, installation of a check valve vertically 
and as close as possible to the recovery line is recommended

When the rise in piping is 30 m (100 ft) or farther from the 

PowerTrap

, installation of a check valve is recommended for 

the prevention of return water hammer
