1.6 The system
Consider the effect on the complete system of the work proposed. Will any proposed action (e.g.
closing isolation valves, electrical isolation) put any other part of the system or any personnel
at risk?
Dangers might include isolation of vents or protective devices or the rendering ineffective of
controls or alarms. Ensure isolation valves are turned on and off in a gradual way to avoid system
shocks.
1.7 Pressure systems
Ensure that any pressure is isolated and safely vented to atmospheric pressure. Consider double
isolation (double block and bleed) and the locking or labelling of closed valves. Do not assume
that the system has depressurised even when the pressure gauge indicates zero.
1.8 Temperature
Allow time for temperature to normalise after isolation to avoid the danger of burns.

Note: Before actioning any installation observe the 'Safety information' in Section 1.
Referring to the Installation and Maintenance Instructions, name-plate and Technical Information Sheet,
check that the product is suitable for the intended installation.
3.1 Check materials, pressure and temperature and their maximum values. If the maximum operating
limit of the product is lower than that of the system in which it is being fitted, ensure that a safety
device is included in the system to prevent overpressurisation.
3.2 Determine the correct installation situation and the direction of fluid flow.
3.3 Remove protective covers from all connections and protective film from all name-plates, where
appropriate, before installation on steam or other high temperature applications.
3.4 The preferred installation is in a horizontal pipe with the insulating cover uppermost (see Figure 3).
The trap will operate in any position, but the service life may be affected.
Note: When a socket weld trap is being installed the welding should be carried out to an approved
procedure of a recognised standard.
3.5 Observe the flow direction markings on the trap body. Stop valves should be installed so as to
permit the isolation of the trap from both supply and return line pressure. If the trap discharges to
atmosphere, the discharge should be directed to a safe place.
Note: the disc and seating surfaces of these traps have been produced to a high degree of flatness
to achieve good shut-off under high pressure conditions. An integral strainer helps prevent dirt and
scale from entering the trap. If particles become entrapped between the disc and seat, the high
flow velocities can cause rapid wear and erosion. A separate strainer and/or dirt pocket will provide
additional protection.
3.6 Access for removal of the integral strainer screen should be provided.
3.7 The insulating cover may be removed to facilitate installation, but it must be replaced before the
trap is put into service.
Note: If the trap is to discharge to atmosphere ensure it is to a safe place, the discharging fluid may be at
a temperature of 100 °C (212 °F).

4.1 General information
After installation or maintenance ensure that the system is fully functioning. Carry out tests on any alarms
or protective devices.
4.2 Commissioning with particular reference to venting air
(refer to Figure 4).
With high pressure systems, initial start-up can take several hours (or days) to bring the system to normal
operating pressure and temperature. Even if the trap has replaced another trap while the main system has
remained running, it may still be necessary to vent air from the drop leg. If the trap is some distance from
stop valve 'A', it could be possible to air lock the pipework between valve 'A' and the TD62M or TD62LM
(i.e. the trap closes to air and does not readily allow steam to enter the pipework). To overcome this on
start-up the following procedure should be adopted. With stop valve 'B' closed, drain valve 'C' open, slowly
and partially open stop valve 'A'. This will discharge the air, condensate and any pipe debris. Valve 'C'
should be fully closed, and valves 'A' and 'B' slowly opened to the fully open position.
When the trap is more than 2 m (6 ft) away from the vertical drain leg, a suitable drop leg at the inlet to the
trap can improve its service life by ensuring that the trap does not see a mixture of steam and condensate.
Important note:
After the trap has been in service at normal operating pressure and temperature for 24 hours, it is
essential that the cover nuts are retightened (see Table 1 page 14 for the recommended tightening
torques). This will ensure the correct compression of the gasket under service conditions.
The TD62LM and TD62M are thermodynamic steam traps which use a disc to control the release of
condensate and to trap steam. The trap cycles open and closed to discharge condensate close to steam
temperature and closes tight between discharges. The disc, which is the only moving part, rises and falls
in response to dynamic forces produced by the partial re-evaporation (flashing) of hot condensate. Cool
condensate, air and other non-condensible gases enter the trap through the central orifice, lift the disc,
and are discharged through the outlet orifice. When the condensate approaches steam temperature, a
portion of it flashes as it enters the trap. The flash steam passes at high velocity over the underside of
the disc and collects in the control chamber above. The resulting pressure imbalance forces the disc
downward onto the seating surfaces, stopping the flow. The trap remains tightly closed until the loss of
heat through the trap body lowers the control chamber pressure, allowing the inlet pressure to raise the
disc and repeat the cycle. An insulating cover prevents the trap being unduly influenced by excessive heat
loss when subjected to low ambient temperatures, wind, rain, etc.

6.2 How to clean or replace the strainer screen:
Note: On older models the strainer was a 0.8 mm perforated screen. Newer models use a 100 mesh screen
to provide improved screening. The screens are interchangeable.
Screwed and socket weld connections (Figure 7)
-Access to the strainer screen can be obtained by removing strainer cap (3).
-Remove the strainer screen (4).
-Fit a new or cleaned strainer screen into the recess in the cap (3).
-A new gasket (12) should be fitted and the cap (3) screwed into the body and tightened to the
recommended torque (see Table 1).
Note: The use of a thread lubricant is recommended.
Flanged connections (Figure 8)
-Unscrew the four bottom cover nuts (9) and remove the bottom cover (3).
-Remove the strainer screen (4) and inspect. Locate the new screen or replace a cleaned screen onto
the spigot on the bottom cover (3).
-Reassemble the cover (3) to the body using a new gasket (10) ensuring that the gasket faces are
perfectly clean.
-The cover nuts (9) should be tightened to the recommended torque in a diagonally opposite sequence
(see Table 1). After 24 hours in service the cover nuts should be checked for tightness.
Note: The use of a thread lubricant is recommended.
6.3 How to replace the cover studs:
Screwed and socket weld connections (Figure 7)
After removing old cover studs (8), fit new cover studs until the studs bottom out.
Note: The use of a thread lubricant is recommended.
Flanged connections (Figure 8)
The flanged TD62M and TD62LM are fitted with two different lengths of studs. It is therefore important
that the correct length of stud is fitted into the correct tapped holes in the body. The studs are packed in
separate labelled bags (A, B, C, D), within the spares pack. The stud holes are as marked on the diagrams
in Figure 11. Fit new studs to the recommended torque (see Table 1) until they bottom out.
Note: The use of a thread lubricant is recommended.
