Blowdown Valve / Test Valve Operation
1. Before installation, be sure to remove all protective seals.
2. Before installing the product, blow out the piping to remove any piping scraps, dirt and oil.
3. Install the product so the arrow on the body is pointing in the direction of condensate flow.
4. The handwheels should be facing the operator. At this time, make sure that the installation surface for the trap unit is
vertical to the ground. If a blowdown valve or test valve is installed on the product, connect the piping by making sure the
discharge outlet is facing downwards (toward the ground).
5. If a blowdown valve or test valve is installed on the product, install the product horizontally on the piping. The allowable
inclination from horizontal, and for the installation surface for the trap unit, is within 5° as shown below.
6. If a blowdown valve or test valve is not installed on the product, the product may be installed in either vertical or
horizontal orientation. However, ensure the inlet is facing upwards for vertical piping. The allowable inclination for the
installation surface for the trap unit is within 5° as shown below.
7. Install the trap unit onto the trap station. For installation instructions see the instruction manual shipped with the trap unit.
8. Connect the outlet piping.
9. Open the inlet and outlet valves slowly and check to make sure that the product functions properly.
1. The BD2 valve is in the closed position when the Trap Station is shipped from the factory. Before attempting to operate
the blowdown valve and the test valve, reconfirm that the BD2 valve is still in the closed position. Locate the blow outlet
and, during operation, stand to the side and well clear of it, as the jet of condensate or steam could cause burns.
2. Remain in the area the entire time the BD2 valve is in the open position. Before opening the BD2 valve, grip the BD2 valve
seat with a wrench and hold firmly in place so that it will not rotate when the BD2 valve is loosened. Grip the BD2 valve
with another wrench and slowly loosen. Condensate and steam will discharge from the discharge hole in a jet stream. Be
careful not to loosen the BD2 valve so far that it becomes removed from the BD2 valve. (If the valve stopper pin becomes
damaged, large quantities of steam will be discharged in a jet stream.)
NOTE: Do not leave the vicinity while the BD2 valve is in the open position.
3. Close the BD2 valve until the flow of fluid completely stops. If the flow of fluid does not stop, re-open the valve (as in step 2)
to blow out any scale or dirt that may be caught in the valve. Re-tighten the valve until the flow of fluid stops completely.
NOTE: Coat all threaded portions with anti-seize. If drawings or
other special documentation were supplied for the product, any torque
given there takes precedence over values shown here.
Avoid the use of excessive tightening torques, as threaded parts may
become damaged.
The blowdown valve uses internal pressure to blow out condensate or other fluids from inside the unit to the atmosphere in
order to remove scale and dirt. The test valve is installed at the outlet of the trap. By closing the outlet valve for the trap station
and opening the test valve it becomes possible to test the operation of the trap. The TLV blowdown valve BD2 is used for both
the blowdown valve and the test valve. For operation refer to the BD2 operation instructions below.
