3INSTALLATION
WARNING
Pay very careful attention when working in hazardous environments. There is a risk
of explosion and the possibility of dangerous gases leaking. Always check whether
the pipeline contains flammable, high pressure or high temperature materials
before starting to work.
⚫Make sure that isolation valves are installed on both the upstream and downstream
lines.
CAUTION
Before installing the product, open both isolation valves and the bypass valve, if
one exists, to blow out any debris or dirt inside the pipeline. After blowing out the
line, before starting to work, close the isolation valves and allow time for the
temperature to drop to a safe working temperature.
When installing the product, be sure to leave clearance for maintaining it.
Clearance for
maintenance:
More than 200mm

Flow direction is
indicated by an

1) Remove the dustproof seals covering both connections.
※Products shipped in plastic bags may not have dustproof seals.
2) Check the flow direction indicated on the body.
3) When installing the model ER116, install it so that the flow from the upstream line to
the downstream line is horizontal and the name plate is on the top side of the body.
When installing the trap in a horizontal line, be sure to maintain a slight slope of the
line, so that any condensate will flow smoothly to the trap.
4) Open the isolation valve on the upstream line slowly and make sure the product works
normally.
※Install the trap at a lower position than the equipment that generates condensate as
shown in drawing A.
※If the trap is installed higher than the steam using equipment, please install a lift
fitting as shown in drawing B for better performance.
CAUTION
If installed on a cylinder dryer, please install lower than the lowest point of the
cylinder and minimize the horizontal piping.
The trap should be installed for easy maintenance.
Upon start up inspect the following:
1. Eventual leakage from the sealing of the body (1) and the cover (2). If the trap is
leaking retighten the cover bolts (39 & 40) evenly crosswise.
2. Eventual leakage from the Plugs (3 or 4). If the trap is leaking retighten the
plugs.

4OPERATION
CAUTION
Before starting operation, open the bypass valve or blow valve completely and blow
off the scale in the piping.
4.1 Operation procedure
1) After blowing off the scale from the piping, close the bypass valve or blow valve.
2) Open the stop valve on the trap outlet side.
3) Open the stop valve on the trap inlet side.
4.2 Stop procedure
1) Close the stop valve on the trap inlet side.
2) Close the stop valve on the trap outlet side.
* When stopping for a long time, completely drain the condensate from the piping and trap
and close the valves before and after the trap.

5MAINTENANCE
WARNING
⚫Before removing the trap from the pipe or disassembling it, be sure to close the
isolation valves. Then, release the residual pressure from the trap body (make
sure that the pressure in the main body is equal to the atmospheric pressure).
After it has fully cooled down (after the temperature of the main body has
reached ambient temperature), confirm for safe conditions and then begin to
work.
⚫Even when the isolation valves are closed, there may be residual internal
pressure due to leaks from the isolation valves. Therefore, be very careful.
CAUTION
⚫When replacing parts, make sure the replacement parts are supplied by
MIYAWAKI.
The performance of steam traps deteriorates gradually over time due to wear, corrosion
or dirt accumulating around the valve and the valve seat. Please conduct periodic
diagnosis of traps in order to keep steam control systems and equipment working well.
5.1 Tools for Diagnosing Steam Traps
◼Dr. Trap
Dr. Trap is a sophisticated steam trap management system for diagnosing steam traps
automatically by measuring the vibration and temperature of the steam trap. Survey
results are stored in the testing equipment and transferred to a steam trap analysis
software. The software aggregates and analyses steam trap survey data, identifying
faulty steam traps, providing steam loss and financial loss data, estimating CO2 emissions
corresponding to leaking steam traps and providing many other analyze possibilities to
manage the steam trap population easily.
◼Dr. Trap Jr.
Dr. Trap Jr. is an inexpensive and easily to handle steam trap diagnostic system
consisting of an ultrasonic checker, temperature probe and a sophisticated analysis
software. The software allows to determine the condition of a steam trap, to estimate
steam and financial losses and the related CO2 emissions.
For more details, please, check our homepage:

or ask our local representative.

5.2 Repairs
When a trap fails, it is necessary to clean the internal parts and to replace damaged parts.
Take the failed trap apart following the steps below.
5.2.1 Disassembling the trap
1) Untighten the plug (3), take out the screen (29), check and clean it.
2) Remove the cover bolts (39 & 40) and take off the cover (2) together with all internal
parts as shown in the drawings C and D.
3) Take off the eyebolt pin (20) and the bucket (17) will come off.
4) Firm the cover (2) with a vise and screw out the bonnet (9) with a box wrench. Then
firm the bonnet (9) and screw out the gland (12) with a wrench. The pilot valve unit
(pilot valve (7), pilot guard (8), connector cap (15), cap pin (16), connector (13),
piston valve (6) and cylinder liner (11)) will come apart together. Screw out the
valve seat (5) with a wrench.
5) Clean and inspect all parts. Replace any that are worn or damaged. Especially
thoroughly check the piston valve (6), the valve seat (5) and the pilot valve (7).
When there will be the necessity to replace any of these parts always replace them
together as they are lapped together in the factory.
CAUTION
Clean the body (1) and cover (2) with care not to damage the sealing surfaces.
Scratches on the sealing surfaces may cause steam leakage.
Take appropriate measures according to “6. Troubleshooting”. After cleaning the trap and
replacing damaged parts, reassemble the parts in the opposite way as disassembling.
Refer to the torque table for the necessary torque.
