2. After the tube is removed, install the rest of the parts on to the GT5C. Once the installation is done, connect
the tube again.
When you cannot insert the tube smoothly, try starting over again from the beginning
instead of forcing the tube.
Over tightening threads may result in damage to the joint union. Wrap threads
with sealing tape or apply sealing compound.

CAUTION
Using appropriate tools, make sure that the union joint has been tightened properly.
Improper tightening may lead to steam leakage, resulting in burns or other injury.
3. Double check to make sure that the union joints for tubes are firmly tightened.
If the union is not firmly tightened, there is a chance that the tube may come off, resulting steam
blow.
Make sure to check the tightening with a suitable tool.
Other precautions
After the product is installed on the GT5C, carry out the installation for the motive medium supply
line and other pipes by following the instruction manual for the GT5C.
In places where people have a chance of coming into direct contact with the GT5C or its tubes,
equipment should be insulated or guarded by a fence or other such barrier.
Test operation or steam supply testing should be carried out by trained personnel.
The LV21-C steam trap is the only moving part of the product; however repair or replacement is only
available for the product as a set.
If the customer disassembles or cleans the LV21-C only, the product will no longer be covered by
the warranty. In such a case, please contact TLV for the LV21-C instruction manual.
Removal procedure
When you remove or disassemble the product, perform the reverse process of the installation
procedure. Shut off all inlet and outlet valves for the GT5C including the motive medium supply line
in order to reduce the internal pressure. Make sure that the piping and the GT5C have cooled down
completely before you carry out the work.
In addition, make sure to loosen any connection parts, plugs, etc. slowly (to avoid sudden internal
pressure blow due to remaining pressure).
