7. Operational Check
Normal: The sound of flow can be heard while air is discharged. When air
discharge finishes, the valve closes along with slight discharge of steam.
Blocked (no discharge): No air is discharged. The air vent is quiet and its surface temperature
is low.
Blowing: Live steam continually blows from the outlet and there is a continuous
metallic sound.
Steam Leakage: Live steam is leaking through the outlet, accompanied by a high-
pitched sound.
A visual inspection can be done to help decide about necessary immediate maintenance or repair
if the air vent is open to atmosphere.
Use diagnostic equipment such as TLV Pocket TrapMan if the air vent does not discharge to
atmosphere.
If drawings or other special documentation were supplied for the product,
any torque given there takes precedence over values shown here.

8. Inspection and Maintenance
• Installation, inspection, maintenance, repairs, disassembly, adjustment
and valve opening/closing should be carried out only by trained
maintenance personnel.
• Before attempting to open the vent, close the inlet isolation valve of the equipment and
wait until the air vent has cooled to room temperature. Failure to do so may result in
burns or injury.
• LA13L can be maintained without being removed from the pipeline, on the condition that
the surrounding pipes are securely supported. If the pipes are not properly supported,
they may be damaged when torque is applied in the loosening or tightening of the cover.
Such damage could result in steam spraying out and causing serious injury.
• If using a vise when dismantling the air vent, screw a nipple or pipe end into the outlet to
prevent deformation of the threaded connection.
• Be sure to use the proper components and NEVER attempt to modify the product.
CAUTION
Operational inspections should be performed at least twice per year, or as called for by trap
operating conditions. Faulty air vents may result in losses due to steam leakage. Follow the
instructions below for disassembly and reassembly when cleaning or repair is necessary.
