Operation
Principles of air and condensate discharge:
1. Valve Opening & Initial Condensate
Discharge
At start-up, when a large quantity of condensate
flows into the trap, the float (A) rises by buoyancy,
opening the pilot orifice (E). Condensate flows
through the pilot orifice (E) into the control
chamber (F), increasing the pressure there. The
increased pressure causes the piston (D), and
accordingly the main valve (B), to move up. The
orifice on the main valve seat (C) is then opened
to discharge condensate.
2. Valve Closing & Water Seal
When condensate has been discharged, the float
(A) falls, closing the pilot orifice (E). Pressure in
the control chamber (F) decreases due to
leakage through small holes. The main valve (B)
moves downward, closing the orifice of the main
valve seat (C). The orifices are completely water-
sealed during operation, permitting no steam
leakage.
3. Regular Operation
After the large quantity of initial condensate
formed at start-up has been discharged, the
equipment reaches a thermally balanced state,
forming condensate in accordance with the load.
The trap then discharges condensate by a
modulating float dynamic principle.
Float Dynamic Principle
When a large quantity of condensate flows into the
trap, the float (A) rises immediately, opening the
pilot orifice (E) wide. Condensate passes through
the pilot orifice at a high velocity into the control
chamber (F), where the pressure increases rapidly
due to flashing condensate. The rapid expansion
causes a force to be exerted on the main valve
(B), opening the large orifice on the main valve
seat (C) instantly. As condensate discharges
through the main valve seat orifice at a high
velocity, condensate in the equipment and trap
inlet pipe is also discharged.

Installation
Install properly and DO NOT use this product outside the recommended
operating pressure, temperature and other specification ranges.
Improper use may result in such hazards as damage to the product or
malfunctions which may lead to serious accidents. Local regulations
may restrict the use of this product to below the conditions quoted.
CAUTION
Use hoisting equipment for heavy objects (weighing approximately
20 kg (44 lb) or more). Failure to do so may result in back strain or other
injury if the object should fall.
CAUTION
Take measures to prevent people from coming into direct contact with
product outlets. Failure to do so may result in burns or other injury from
the discharge of fluids.
CAUTION
Installation, inspection, maintenance, repairs, disassembly, adjustment and valve
opening/closing should be carried out only by trained maintenance personnel.
1. Before installation, be sure to remove all protective seals.
2. Install inlet and outlet valves to isolate the trap and a bypass valve to discharge
condensate from equipment and piping in the event of trap failure and when
performing maintenance.
3. Before installing the product, open the inlet valve and blow out the piping to
remove any piping scraps, dirt and oil. Close the inlet valve after blowdown.
4. Make sure the inlet and outlet valves are closed before beginning installation.
5. Install a strainer (40 mesh or finer) at the inlet side of the product. The strainer
should be installed horizontally with the basket horizontal to the piping.
6. Install the product into the piping in a manner that allows condensate flow
naturally down into the trap, with the arrow on the product body pointing in the
direction of condensate flow.
7. The trap should be inclined no more than 5° horizontally and front-to-back.
8. When the trap is operating (when the main valve is opening and closing), the
discharging condensate may cause shocks or recoil, so make sure that the piping
before and after the trap is securely supported.
9. Secure sufficient space for inspection and maintenance.
If there is a problem, determine the cause using the “Troubleshooting” section in this
manual.
Tolerance Angle for Installation - 5°
Make sure the trap is installed with the raised TLV lettering on the body horizontal.

Operation
Installation, inspection, maintenance, repairs, disassembly, adjustment and valve
opening/closing should be carried out only by trained maintenance personnel.
1. For Start-up Operation
(1) Just after the trap is installed or when it has been idle for a long period of time, be
sure to blow out the rust and scale from the inside of the piping before opening
the trap inlet valve.
(2) After opening the outlet valve, slowly open the inlet valve, being very careful not
to open it too suddenly. When this is done, the steam trap will begin operation
automatically. It will shortly stabilize into normal operation. If air binding or steam-
locking occurs, or to more rapidly vent large quantities of initial air in the piping,
use the lock release valve (see “Lock Release Valve Operation” below).
(3) Reconfirm the status of the trap operation (see the “Operational Check” section).
If status is normal and stable, continue use with the valve open as it is.
(4) When the trap will not be used for long periods of time, be sure to discharge any
residual condensate to prevent the pipes from rusting.
2. Corrective Measures When a Malfunction Occurs
(1) In the event of an abnormality, first carry out the following:
a) Close the inlet valve and outlet valves.
b) Open the bypass valve and discharge the condensate from the equipment and
pipes using the bypass.
(2) Let the trap body cool thoroughly and, being careful of residual pressure and hot
condensate, take the appropriate corrective measures in line with the remedial
procedures described in the troubleshooting section.
Lock Release Valve Operation
Be sure to use only the recommended components when repairing the
product, and NEVER attempt to modify the product in any way. Failure to
observe these precautions may result in damage to the product or burns
or other injury due to malfunction or the discharge of fluids.
CAUTION
Installation, inspection, maintenance, repairs, disassembly, and adjustment should
be done only by trained maintenance personnel.
To operate the lock release valve:
1. Remove the lock release valve cap with a 27 mm
(11∕16”) wrench.
2. Using a 10 mm (⅜”) wrench, turn the lock release
valve stem counter-clockwise.
3. With an appropriate number of turns air binding
or steam-locking will cease and the trap will
function normally.
If necessary, increase the degree of valve
opening further.
4. After having checked that the trap continues
working normally, close the lock release valve by
turning the stem clockwise, and reinstall the cap
(tighten to a torque of 15 Nm (11 ftlb)).
CAUTION
Do not leave the lock release valve open during regular operation. Always be sure
to close the lock release valve after eliminating air binding or steam-locking.

Maintenance
Take measures to prevent people from coming into direct contact with
product outlets. Failure to do so may result in burns or other injury from
the discharge of fluids.
CAUTION
Be sure to use only the recommended components when repairing the
product, and NEVER attempt to modify the product in any way. Failure to
observe these precautions may result in damage to the product or burns
or other injury due to malfunction or the discharge of fluids.
CAUTION
Operational Check
A visual inspection of the following items should be done on a daily basis to determine
whether the product is operating properly or has failed. Periodically (at least
biannually) the sound of operation and the trap surface temperature should also be
checked by using diagnostic equipment, such as a stethoscope or thermometer. A
complete disassembly and inspection should be performed at least once every 3
years.
If the product should fail, it may cause damage to piping and equipment, resulting in
faulty or low quality products or losses due to steam leakage.
Normal
:
Condensate is discharged intermittently and there is no leakage
when the valve is closed. After the sound of the flow of condensate
continues for some time, the sound of the valve closing on the
valve seat can be heard. This is followed by an interval in which
the trap makes no sound, after which the cycle is again repeated.
Blocked
(Discharge Impossible)
:
No condensate is discharged. The trap is quiet and makes no
noise, and the surface temperature of the trap is low.
Blowing
:
Live steam continually flows from the outlet and there is a
continuous metallic sound.
Steam Leakage
:
Live steam is discharged through the product outlet together with
condensate, accompanied by a high-pitched sound.
