Installation 

 

 

Install properly and DO NOT use  this product outside the recommended 

operating pressure, temperature and other specification ranges. 
Improper use may result in such hazards as damage to the product or 

malfunctions which may lead to serious accidents. Local regulations 

may restrict the use of this product to below the conditions quoted.

 

CAUTION

 

 

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

 

Installation, inspection, maintenance, repairs, disassembly, adjustment and valve 
opening/closing should be carried out only by trained maintenance personnel. 

 

1.  Before installation, be sure to remove all protective seals. 
2.  Before installing the product, blow out the inlet piping to remove any piping scraps, 

dirt and oil. Close the inlet valve after blowdown. 

3.  Install the product so that the arrow on the body is pointing in the direction of flow. 
4.  The trap should be inclined no more than 5° in any plane. 
5.  Install a condensate outlet valve and outlet piping. 
6.  Open the inlet and outlet valves and check to make sure that the product functions 

properly. 

If there is a problem, determine the cause using the “Troubleshooting” section in this manual. 

 

Tolerance Angle for Installation - 5° 

(SS3N / SS5N / SS5NH)

 

Tolerance Angle for Installation - 5° 

(SS3V / SS5V / SS5VH)

 

 

 

Install on a horizontal pipe with the nameplate 

facing upwards and the arrow pointing in the 

direction of flow 

Install on a verticle pipe with the inlet on top, 

the outlet on the bottom and the arrow 

pointing in the direction of flow 

 

NOTE: For products with socket weld connections the insulation cover shipped with the 

product should be attached after the products is welded onto the pipe and after its 
surface has cooled to room temperature. 
For attaching the insulation cover, see the instruction below. 

<How to attach the insulation cover> 

Short tape

Long tape

Step 1. Wrap the included sealing tape around the inlet and outlet 

connection at each end of the trap (3 turns for each). 

Step 2. Fit the two halfshells of the insulation cover around the trap 

until the 5 tabs and 5 holes are perfectly aligned. 
A nameplate is affixed to the insulation cover. Make sure 
that direction of the arrow on the nameplate matches the 
direction of condensate flow. 

Step 3. Using the included aluminum tape, seal the area where the 

halfshells meet. Then wrap 3 more turns of sealing tape over 
the top of the sealing tape applied in step 1.
