Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the TLV free float steam trap.
This product has been thoroughly inspected before being shipped from the factory.
When the product is delivered, before doing anything else, check the specifications and
external appearance to make sure nothing is out of the ordinary. Also be sure to read
this manual carefully before use and follow the instructions to be sure of using the
product properly.
This free float steam trap uses a two-bolt flange, an X-element air vent and three-point
seating for a precision-ground float, increasing heating efficiency and reducing
manpower requirements for maintenance.
The two-bolt flange allows the trap to be installed in either horizontal or vertical piping.
This flexibility greatly reduces the time required for installation, removal, repair and
maintenance. The three-point seating supports the precision-ground float securely and
ensures a high degree of sealing for even minute quantities of condensate. The X-
element is very sensitive to changes in temperature, and responds with great accuracy,
quickly discharging air and the large quantities of condensate created immediately after
operation startup, thereby greatly reducing start-up time. It also reacts with great
sensitivity to the inflow of large quantities of condensate and hot air during operation,
preventing air binding.
If detailed instructions for special order specifications or options not contained in this
manual are required, please contact TLV for full details.
This instruction manual is intended for use with the model(s) listed on the front cover. It
is necessary not only for installation, but for subsequent maintenance,
disassembly/reassembly and troubleshooting. Please keep it in a safe place for future
reference.
