Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the TLV free float steam trap.
This product has been thoroughly inspected before being shipped from the factory.
When the product is delivered, before doing anything else, check the specifications
and external appearance to make sure nothing is out of the ordinary. Also be sure to
read this manual carefully before use and follow the instructions to be sure of using
the product properly.
This free float steam trap employs a hinge-less and lever-less free float to rapidly,
automatically and continuously discharge the inflowing condensate that is
continuously generated inside the equipment, thus preventing the accumulation of
condensate and thereby improving the heat transfer efficiency of the equipment. In
addition, the integral bimetal type automatic air vent allows for the rapid release of
start-up air and thereby reduces start-up time.
These features make this free float steam trap suitable for applications requiring
condensate discharge from process systems and equipment (steam-using
equipment).
This steam trap also employs a precision-ground float and three-point seating that
supports the float securely at three points and ensures a high degree of sealing
when even only minute quantities of condensate are present. This free float steam
trap is also ideal for places at which extremely small amounts of condensate are
generated, such as superheated and saturated steam mains and branches, and
trace lines.
If detailed instructions for special order specifications or options not contained in this
manual are required, please contact TLV for full details.
This instruction manual is intended for use with the model(s) listed on the front cover.
It is necessary not only for installation but for subsequent maintenance,
disassembly/reassembly and troubleshooting. Please keep it in a safe place for
future reference.
