Troubleshooting
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.

ring or air vent ring
Steam-locking has occurred
Perform a bypass blowdown, or
close the trap inlet valve and
allow the trap to cool
No condensate
is discharged or
discharge is
poor
(blocked)
Trap operating pressure is below the
minimum specified pressure or there
is insufficient pressure differential
between the trap inlet and outlet
Compare specifications and
actual operating conditions
Rust or scale on the disc or on the
module valve seat
Clean parts
Disc or module valve seat damage or
wear
Replace with new disc or
module valve seat

back pressure exceeds the allowable
back pressure
Compare specifications and
actual operating conditions
Gasket deterioration or damage
Replace with new gasket(s)
