MAINTENANCE
We recommend that the float steam traps are serviced as necessary. Steam traps should be checked
periodically (at least yearly), to verify that they are operating correctly and to clean the internal parts and screen
(if any).
When reassembling make sure that all gasket faces are clean and always use a new gasket. Tighten cover
bolts uniformly in a diagonal sequence.
For further information refer to the relevant FLT16 brochure or consult our Sales Office.
