2. Removing/Reattaching the Float
It is not necessary to remove the float if only the intake (motive medium) and exhaust
valves are to be serviced or replaced. It is not always necessary to replace the float
when replacing the snap-action unit. The float should be replaced only when there are
irregularities such as damage to its exterior or condensate found inside the float.
