Introduction
Before you begin, please read this manual to ensure correct usage of the product and keep
it in a safe place for future reference.
The inline repairable air traps of the JA Series are suitable for air systems with pressures up to
1.6 MPaG (230 psig) and temperatures up to 100˚C (212˚F). The traps discharge condensate
continuously and automatically without adjustment.
1 MPa = 10.197 kg/cm
2
1 bar = 0.1 MPa

1. Safety Considerations
• Read this section carefully before use and be sure to follow the instructions.
• Installation, inspection, maintenance, repairs, disassembly, adjustment and valve
opening/closing should be carried out only by trained maintenance personnel.
• The precautions listed in this manual are designed to ensure safety and prevent equipment
damage and personal injury. For situations that may occur as a result of erroneous handling,
three different types of cautionary items are used to indicate the degree of urgency and the
scale of potential damage and danger: DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION.
• The three types of cautionary items above are very important for safety; be sure to observe
all of them, as they relate to installation, use, maintenance, and repair. Furthermore, TLV
accepts no responsibility for any accidents or damage occurring as a result of failure to
observe these precautions.
WARNING
CAUTION
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.
DO NOT use for toxic, flammable or otherwise hazardous fluids.
This product is an air trap that 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, which may lead to serious accidents. Local regulations may
restrict the use of this product to below the conditions quoted.
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.
Use hoisting equipment for heavy objects (weighing approximately
20 kg (44 Ibs.) or more).
Failure to do so may result in back strain or
other injury if the object should fall.
DO NOT use this product in excess of the maximum operating pressure
differential.
Such use could make discharge impossible (blocked).
Do not subject this product to condensate loads that exceed its
discharge capacity.
Failure to observe this precaution may lead to
condensate accumulation upstream of the trap, resulting in reduced
equipment performance or damage to the equipment.
Indicates an urgent situation
which poses a threat of death
or serious injury.
Indicates that there is a
potential threat of death or
serious injury.
WARNING
DANGER
CAUTION
Indicates that there is a
