Troubleshooting 

 

 

NEVER apply direct heat to the float. The float may explode due to 

increased internal pressure, causing accidents leading to serious injury 

or damage to property and equipment.

 

WARNING 

 

 

When disassembling or removing the product, wait until the internal 

pressure equals atmospheric pressure and the surface of the product 

has cooled to room temperature. Disassembling or removing the 

product when it is hot or under pressure may lead to discharge of fluids, 

causing burns, other injuries or damage.

 

CAUTION 

When the product fails to operate properly, use the following table to locate and 
remedy the cause. 

Problem 

Cause 

Remedy 

No condensate is 
discharged 
(blocked) or   
discharge is poor 
 

The float is damaged or filled with 
condensate 

Replace with a new float 

Oil in the trap has become viscous, 
causing the float to become stuck 

Clean parts 

The valve seat opening, strainer screen 
or piping are clogged with rust and 
scale 

Clean parts 

The trap operating pressure exceeds 
the maximum specified pressure, or 
there is insufficient pressure differential 
between the trap inlet and outlet 

Compare specifications 
and actual operating 
conditions 

Air binding has occurred 

Make sure a pressure-
balancing line is installed; 
if already installed, make 
sure it has not become 
dislodged or is not 
incorrectly installed 

Air is discharged 
or leaks from the 
outlet 
(blowing)   
(air leakage) 

Clogged valve seat opening or rust and 
scale build-up beneath the float 

Clean parts 

Scratches on the valve seat 

Replace with a new valve 
seat 

The float is misshapen or has 
build-up 

Clean or replace with a new 
float 

Improper installation orientation 

Correct the installation 

Trap vibration 

Lengthen the inlet piping 
and fasten it securely 

There is no condensate in the air trap 
body, no water seal around the valve 
seat 

Prime the air trap 

Air is leaking from   
a place other than 
the outlet 

O-ring deterioration or damage 

Replace with new o-ring(s) 

Improper tightening torques were 
used 

Tighten to the proper 
torque 

Float frequently 
becomes 
damaged 

Water hammer has occurred 

Study and correct the 
piping
