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 the
cause and remedy.
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
The valve seat opening, screen or piping
are clogged with rust and scale
Clean parts
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
The trap operating pressure exceeds the
maximum specified pressure, or whether
there is insufficient pressure differential
between the trap inlet and outlet
Compare specifications and
actual operating conditions
The specific gravity of the fluid is not
suitable for this product
Consult TLV
Air/gas is
discharged or
leaks from the
outlet
(blowing)
(air/gas 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 a build-up
Clean float 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 drain trap
body, no water seal around the valve seat
Prime the drain trap
Air/gas is leaking
from a place
other than the
outlet
Gasket deterioration or damage
Replace with new gasket(s)
Improper tightening torques were used
Tighten to the proper torque
Float frequently
becomes
damaged
Water hammer has occurred
Study and correct the piping
