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
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. Install inlet and outlet valves to isolate the trap and a bypass valve to discharge
condensate from equipment and piping in the event of trap failure and when
performing maintenance.
3. Before installing the product, open the inlet valve and blow out the piping to
remove any piping scraps, dirt and oil. Close the inlet valve after blowdown.
4. Make sure the inlet and outlet valves are closed before beginning installation.
5. Install a strainer (40 mesh or finer) at the inlet side of the product. The strainer
should be installed horizontally with the basket horizontal to the piping.
6. Install the product into the piping in a manner that allows condensate flow
naturally down into the trap, with the arrow on the product body pointing in the
direction of condensate flow.
7. The trap should be inclined no more than 5° horizontally and front-to-back.
8. When the trap is operating (when the main valve is opening and closing), the
discharging condensate may cause shocks or recoil, so make sure that the piping
before and after the trap is securely supported.
9. Secure sufficient space for inspection and maintenance.
If there is a problem, determine the cause using the “Troubleshooting” section in this
manual.
Tolerance Angle for Installation - 5°
Make sure the trap is installed with the raised
TLV
lettering on the body horizontal.
