valve body in place with wrench while opening valve head.
2.
To test the trap for proper operation, open the test valve during normal operation and close the outlet isolation
valve. Observe the discharge from the test valve. If condensate and flash steam is discharging, trap is working
properly. If live steam is present, trap may be failed open. If no condensate is present, trap may be failed
closed. Replace trap module if necessary. Do not remove trap until pressure is relieved and trap is cool. Refer
to trap installation and operation manual for further trap operation detail.

blowdown valve and test valve to relieve the pressure and drain any condensate. Once pressure is relieved and
trap is cool, the trap can now be removed and replaced.
Note: When opening blowdown and test valve, hold the valve body in place at the base, with a wrench, while
