Introduction 

 

Thank you for purchasing the 

  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 precision-polished float and three-point support 
for the valve body. With no hinges or levers, the trap automatically continuously 
discharges condensate, preventing it from collecting. The three-point seating for 
the valve body supports the precision-polished float securely at three points and 
ensures a high degree of sealing for even minute quantities of condensate. 
If detailed instructions for special order specifications or options not contained in 
this manual are required, please contact 

  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.
