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
