Checking the Piping
DO NOT use for toxic, flammable or otherwise hazardous fluids. This
product is a drain trap that discharges condensate from air or inert gas
systems. Use only for air or inert gas. This product is for intended use
only. Improper use may result in such hazardous as damage to the
product or malfunctions that may lead to serious accidents.
WARNING
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.
CAUTION
Check to make sure that the pipes to be connected to the trap have been installed
properly.
1. Is the pipe diameter suitable?
2. Is the piping where the trap is to be installed horizontal?
3. Has sufficient space been secured for maintenance?
4. Have isolation valves been installed at the inlet and outlet? If the outlet is subject
to back pressure, has a check valve been installed?
5. Is the inlet pipe as short as possible, with as few bends as possible, and installed
so the liquid will flow naturally down into the trap?
6. Has the piping work been done correctly, as shown in the figures below?
Requirement
Correct
Incorrect
Install catchpot with the
proper diameter.
Diameter is too small.
Make sure the flow of
condensate is not
obstructed.
Diameter is too small and inlet
protrudes into pipe interior.
To prevent rust and scale
from flowing into the trap,
the inlet pipe should be
connected 25
– 50 mm
(1
– 2 in) above the base of
the T-pipe.
Rust and scale flow into the trap
with the condensate.
When installing on the blind
end, make sure the flow of
condensate is not
obstructed.
Condensate collects in the pipe.
