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 uses a two-bolt flange and three-point seating for a
precision-ground float, increasing heating efficiency and reducing manpower
requirements for maintenance. The two-bolt flange allows the trap to be installed
in either horizontal or vertical piping. This flexibility greatly reduces the time
required for installation, removal, repair and maintenance.
This free float steam trap is suitable for steam mains or branches for
superheated or saturated steam and tracing lines, where extremely small
amounts of condensate are generated, automatically discharging condensate at
slightly lower than saturation temperature. The product is equipped with a built-
in automatic air vent, rapidly discharging large amount of condensate and air at
startup, which reduces start-up time significantly.
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.
