Maintenance 

 

 

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 

 

 

Be sure to use only the recommended components when repairing the 

product, and NEVER attempt to modify the product in any way. Failure to 

observe these precautions may result in damage to the product or burns 

or other injury due to malfunction or the discharge of fluids.

 

CAUTION 

 

Operational Check 

A visual inspection of the following items should be done on a daily basis to 
determine whether the trap is operating properly or has failed. Periodically (at least 
biannually) the operation should also be checked by using diagnostic equipment, 
such as a stethoscope or thermometer. 

If the trap should fail, it may cause damage to piping and equipment, resulting in 
faulty or low quality products or losses due to steam leakage.   

Normal:                        

  Condensate is discharged continuously, together with flash 

steam, and the sound of flow can be heard. If there is very little 
condensate, there is almost no sound of flow. 

Blocked:         
(Discharge Impossible) 

  No condensate is discharged. The trap is quiet and makes no 

noise, and the surface temperature of the trap is low. 

Blowing:                       

  Live steam continually flows from the outlet and there is a 

continuous metallic sound.   

Steam Leakage:           

  Live steam is discharged through the trap outlet together with 

condensate, accompanied by a high-pitched sound. 

 

 

 

 

Parts Inspection 

When parts have been removed, or during periodic inspections, use the following 
table to inspect the parts and replace any that are found to be defective. 

Procedure

 

Gaskets:   

check for warping or scratches 

Screen:   

check for clogging or corrosion 

Float:   

check for scratches or dents 

Body Interior:   

check for build-up 

Orifice Opening:   check for dirt, oil film, wear or scratches 

 

White jet 

containing 

water droplets

 

Flash Steam 

Clear, slightly 

bluish jet
