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 and 
remedy the cause. 

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 

Steam-locking has occurred 

Perform a bypass blowdown 
or close the trap inlet valve 
and allow the trap to cool 

Air binding has occurred 

Perform a bypass blowdown 
or consider switching to a 
product with a built-in air 
vent or air vent valve 

Steam is 
discharged or 
leaks from the 
outlet 
(blowing) 
(steam leakage) 

Build-up on the seating surface of the orifice 
or rust and scale build-up beneath the float 

Clean parts 

Scratches on the orifice 

Replace with a new orifice 

The float is misshapen or has a build-up 

Clean or replace with new 
float 

Improper installation orientation 

Correct the installation 

Trap vibration 

Lengthen the inlet piping and 
fasten it securely 

Steam is leaking 
from a place 
other than the 
outlet 

Check for gasket deterioration or damage 

Replace with new gasket(s) 

Check to make sure that the proper 
tightening torques were used 

Tighten to the proper torque 

Float frequently 
becomes 
damaged 

Check to see if water hammer has occurred  Study and correct the piping 

NOTE: When replacing parts with new, use the parts list for reference, and replace with parts 

from the Maintenance Kit, Repair Kit, etc. Please note that replacement parts are only 
available as part of a replacement parts kit.
