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, an X-element air vent 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. The three-point seating supports the precision-ground float securely and
ensures a high degree of sealing for even minute quantities of condensate. The X-
element is very sensitive to changes in temperature, and responds with great accuracy,
quickly discharging air and the large quantities of condensate created immediately after
operation startup, thereby greatly reducing start-up time. It also reacts with great
sensitivity to the inflow of large quantities of condensate and hot air during operation,
preventing air binding.
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.

The impact of water hammer may damage the product, leading to fluid
discharge, which may cause burns or other injury.
Always wear eye protection and heat-resistant gloves when
operating the blowdown valve.
Failure to do so may result in burns or other injury.
When operating the blowdown valve, stand to the side well clear
of the outlet to avoid contact with internal fluids that will be
discharged. Operate the valve slowly and surely, taking care to
avoid the area from which internal fluids are discharged and any
fluids deflected off piping or the ground etc.
Failure to do so may result in burns or other injury.
Do not tighten the BD2 valve or the BD2 valve seat in excess of
the appropriate tightening torque.
Over-tightening may cause breakage to threaded portions, which
may cause burns, other injuries or damage.
Do not excessively loosen the BD2 valve when opening the

Checking the Piping
Use only under conditions in which no water hammer will occur.
The impact of water hammer may damage the product, leading to fluid
discharge, which may cause burns or other injury.
Check to make sure that the pipes to be connected to the product have been installed
properly.
1. Is the pipe diameter suitable?
2. Is the trap unit installed horizontally?
3. Has sufficient space been secured for maintenance?
4. Have isolation valves been installed at the inlet and outlet? If the outlet is subject to
back pressure, has a check valve (TLV-CK) been installed?
5. Is the inlet pipe as short as possible, with as few bends as possible, and installed
so the liquid will flow naturally down into the product?
6. Has the piping work been done correctly, as shown in the figures below?
7. Using the appropriate tools, have the screws been tightened enough?
Requirement
Correct
Incorrect
Install catchpot with the
proper diameter.
Diameter is too small.
Make sure the flow of
condensate is not
obstructed.
Diameter is too small and inlet
protrudes into pipe interior.
To prevent rust and scale
from flowing into the trap,
the inlet pipe should be
connected 25 to 50 mm (1
to 2 in) above the base of
the T-pipe.
Rust and scale flow into the
trap with the condensate.
When installing on the
blind end, make sure the
flow of condensate is not
obstructed.
Condensate collects in the
pipe.

Operation
Principles of air and condensate discharge:
1.
Air and Cold Condensate Discharge at Startup
At startup, before steam is supplied, the trap is
cold, the X-element is contracted and the air
vent valve seat (A) is open. This allows for the
rapid discharge of air through the air vent valve
(A) and cold condensate through the orifice (B)
opening, when steam is first supplied to the
system.
2.
Condensate Discharge
After the discharge of initial air and cold
condensate, the heat of the inflowing steam and
condensate causes the X-element to expand,
closing the air vent valve (A). The rising
condensate level causes the float to rise due to
buoyancy, opening the orifice (B) and allowing
condensate to be discharged.
3.
Hot Air Discharge
Should hot air flow into the trap with the steam
during normal operation, the temperature of the
X-element drops, causing it to momentarily
contract and open the air vent valve (A), which
allows for the rapid discharge of the air. After
the air is discharged and steam contacts the
X-element, the temperature will increase
causing the air vent valve (A) to close.
4.
Closed Position
When the condensate flow rate decreases, the
float falls as condensate is discharged, closing
the orifice (B). A water seal is maintained at all
times over the orifice (B) to prevent steam loss.

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.
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 and
burns or other injury due to malfunction or the discharge of fluids.
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 operation should also be checked by using diagnostic equipment such as a
stethoscope, thermometer, TLV Pocket TrapMan or TrapMan.
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 continuously, together with flash steam,
and the sound of flow can be heard. If there is very little
condensate, there is almost no sound of flow.
Blocked:
(Discharge Impossible)
No condensate is discharged. The product is quiet and makes no
noise, and the surface temperature of the product 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.
(When conducting a visual inspection, flash steam is sometimes mistaken for steam leakage. For this
reason, the use of a steam trap diagnostic instrument - such as TLV TrapMan - in conjunction with
the visual inspection is highly recommended.)

Instructions for Plug/Holder Disassemblyand Reassembly
The seal on the threaded plugs/holders found on TLV products is formed by a flat metal
gasket. There are various installation orientations for the gaskets, such as horizontal,
diagonal and downward, and the gasket may be pinched in the thread recesses during
assembly.
Instructions for Disassembly and Reassembly
1. Remove the plug/holder using a tool of the specified size (distance across flats).
2. The gasket should not be reused. Be sure to replace it with a new gasket.
3. Clean the gasket surfaces of the plug/holder and the product bodyusing a rag and/or
cleaning agents, then check to make
sure the surfaces are not scratched or
deformed.
4. Coat both the gasket surface of the
plug/holder and the threads of the
plug/holder with anti-seize, then press
the gasket onto the center of the
gasket surface of the plug/holder,
making sure the anti-seize affixes the
gasket tightly to the plug/holder.
Check to make sure the gasket is not
caught in the recesses of the threads.
5. Hold the plug/holder upside down to
make sure that the anti-seize makes
the gasket stick to the plug/holder
even when the plug/holder is held
upside down.
6. Screw the plug/holder by hand into
the product body while making sure
that the gasket remains tightly affixed
to the center of the gasket surface of
the plug/holder. Make sure the entire
gasket is making contact with the
gasket surface of the product body. It
is important at this point to make sure the gasket is not pinched in the thread
recesses of the plug/holder.
7. Tighten the plug/holder to the proper torque.
8. Next, begin the supply of steam and check to make sure there is no leakage from
the part just tightened. If there is leakage, immediately close the inlet valve and, if
there is a bypass valve, take the necessary steps to release any residual pressure.
After the surface of the product cools to room temperature, repeat the procedure
beginning from step 1.

Options for Area B (screen holder)
With Blowdown Valve (TLV-BD2)
Always wear eye protection and heat-resistant gloves when operating the
blowdown valve.
Failure to do so may result in burns or other injury.
When operating the blowdown valve, stand to the side well clear of the outlet
to avoid contact with internal fluids that will be discharged. Operate the valve
slowly and surely, taking care to avoid the area from which internal fluids are
discharged and any fluids deflected off piping or the ground etc.
Failure to do so may result in burns or other injury.
Do not tighten the BD2 valve or the BD2 valve seat in excess of the
appropriate tightening torque.
Over-tightening may cause breakage to threaded portions, which may cause burns,
other injuries or damage.
Do not excessively loosen the BD2 valve when opening the blowdown valve.
The valve stopper pin installed to prevent the BD2 valve from being removed may
break and internal pressure may result in the BD2 valve being blown off, leading to
injuries, damage and fluid discharge, causing burns.
