Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the TLV temperature control 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.
Unlike most steam traps, this temperature control trap (with bimetal element)
enables the desired condensate discharge temperature to be set. Note: only
the temperature of condensate discharged can be controlled; this temperature
control trap does not control product temperature nor temperature of
condensate accumulating in the system.
This temperature control trap is also ideal for heating of heavy oil tank and oil
feed pipe lines, and for the tracing of valves, instrumentation, etc.
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 needed not only for installation, but for subsequent maintenance,
disassembly/reassembly and troubleshooting. Please keep it in a safe place
for future reference.

Adjusting the Set Temperature
Do not remove cap nut or cover while trap is under pressure. Allow trap
body temperature to cool to room temperature before removing cap
nut or cover. Failure to do so may result in burns or other injury.
CAUTION
Always wear heat-insulated gloves when handling products with high
body temperatures, such as when in operation. Failure to do so may
result in burns.
CAUTION
Follow the procedure below to adjust.
1. For your safety, wear heat-insulated gloves or eye protectors, etc. to prevent
burns.
2. Close the external valve from which the steam and condensate flow to the product
(the “inlet isolation valve”).
3. Close the external valve to which the condensate flows from the product (the
“outlet isolation valve”).
4. Wait until the pressure between the inlet isolation valve and the product equals
atmospheric pressure (when the product body temperature cools to room
temperature).
5. Hold the cover with one wrench and use another wrench to slowly loosen the cap
nut carefully checking for any steam leaks that might occur. In the event steam
leaks are detected, immediately stop the work and proceed with maintenance
referring to “Disassembly/Reassembly”section.
6. Remove the cap nut.
7. Hold the adjusting screw in place with a flat-head screwdriver and loosen the
locknut slowly carefully checking for any steam leaks that might occur. In the
event steam leaks are detected, immediately stop the work and proceed with
maintenance referring to “Disassembly / Reassembly”section.
8. Remove the locknut.
9. Use a flat-head screwdriver to turn the adjusting screw to adjust temperature. To
raise the temperature setting, turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise. To lower
the temperature setting, turn the adjusting screw clockwise. Refer to set
temperature adjustment chart for the number of turns required from the “0”
position to reach the desired temperature.
10. After completing the adjustment, replace the locknut. Hold the adjusting screw in
place with a flat-head screwdriver and tighten the locknut securely.
11. Replace the cap nut and tighten it to the proper torque (see page 14). Hold the
cover with one wrench and use another wrench to tighten.

Temperature Setting Example
As shown in the figure on the right, this
temperature control trap is positioned with the
bottom of the adjuster slot in the adjusting
screw (A) even with the very top of the cover
(B) , which represents the 70 °C at 0.5 MPaG
setting.
This is the standard factory setting.
For example, to set the product to 120 °C (from 70 °C factory setting position), refer
to the adjustment chart on the previous page determine the number of turns.
1) From 120 °C, go straight across until intersection the oblique line.
2) From the intersection point, go straight down and find the number of turns required
(+2).
3) Turn the adjusting screw 2 turns counterclockwise
Adjustment Chart
Note: The standard factory setting is 70 °C at 0.5 MPaG.
Since the set-temperature is little affected by steam
pressure, the temperature Adjustment Chart shows
only the relationship between set temperature and
the number of turns from factory setting.
Change from this to the desired setting, as indicated
in the Adjustment Chart.

Cleaning Function
Do not remove cap nut or cover while trap is under pressure. Allow trap
body temperature to cool to room temperature before removing cap
nut or cover. Failure to do so may result in burns or other injury.
CAUTION
Always wear heat-insulated gloves when handling products with high
body temperatures, such as when in operation. Failure to do so may
result in burns.
CAUTION
Rust, scale and other buildup on the valve seat can hinder the sealing ability of the
steam trap leading to steam leakage and higher product temperatures, or block the
valve seat opening preventing condensate discharge and resulting in the decrease of
the product temperature. Follow the steps below to remove any accumulation from
around the valve opening.
1. For your safety, wear heat-insulated gloves or eye protector, etc. to prevent burns.
2. Close the external valve from which the steam and condensate flow to the
product (the “inlet isolation valve”).
3. Close the external valve to which the condensate flows from the product (the
“outlet isolation valve”).
4. Wait until the pressure between the inlet isolation valve and the product equals
atmospheric pressure (when the product body temperature cools to room
temperature).
5. Hold the cover with one wrench and use another wrench to slowly loosen the cap
nut carefully checking for any steam leaks that might occur. In the event steam
leaks are detected, immediately stop the work and proceed with maintenance
referring to “Disassembly/Reassembly”section.
6. Remove the cap nut.
7. Hold the adjusting screw in place with a flat-head screwdriver and loosen the
locknut slowly carefully checking for any steam leaks that might occur. In the
event steam leaks are detected, immediately stop the work and proceed with
maintenance referring to “Disassembly/Reassembly”section.
8. Remove the locknut.
9. Check the current set position of the adjusting screw.
10. Check and record the number of turns required to return to the standard factory
setting (when points (A) and (B) are even with each other as shown on the figure
in the “Temperature Setting Example” section).
11. Use a flat-head screwdriver to slowly turn the adjusting screw clockwise (to
tighten) until it stops. (This causes the cleaning edge of the stem to reach the
valve seat and loosen debris).
12. Slowly turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise (to loosen) until it stops. (This
will allow flushing once the steam is safely turned on using the instructions that
follow).
13. Replace the cap nut and tighten it to the proper torque (see “Table of Tightening
Torques”). Hold the cover with one wrench and use another wrench to tighten.
14. First fully open the outlet isolation valve slowly.
15. Slowly open the inlet isolation valve carefully checking for any steam leaks that
might occur. In the event steam leaks are detected, immediately close the inlet
isolation valve, then the outlet isolation valve, and repair the source of leakage.

16. Wait 10 seconds to allow any loose scale to be flushed internally. Be aware of
any external steam leak including the outlet connection if opened to atmosphere.
Be careful to not come in contact with any steam that is discharging from an open
outlet connection. If any steam leaks are detected somewhere other than the
outlet piping, immediately close the inlet isolation valve, then the outlet isolation
valve, and repair the source of leakage.
17. Close the inlet isolation valve.
18. Close the outlet isolation valve.
19. Wait until the pressure between the inlet isolation valve and the product equals
atmospheric pressure (when the product body temperature cools to room
temperature).
20. Hold the cover with one wrench and use another wrench to slowly loosen the cap
nut carefully checking for any steam leaks that might occur. In the event steam
leaks are detected, immediately stop the work and proceed with maintenance
referring to “Disassembly/Reassembly”section.
21. Remove the cap nut.
22. Slowly turn the adjusting screw clockwise (to tighten) to return to the original
position checked in step “10” above.
23. Hold the adjusting screw in place with a flat-head screwdriver and tighten the
locknut securely.
24. Replace the cap nut and tighten to the proper torque (see “Table of Tightening
Torques”).
25. First fully open the outlet isolation valve.
26. Slowly open the inlet isolation valve carefully checking for any steam leaks. In the
event steam leaks are detected, immediately close the inlet isolation valve, then
the outlet isolation valve, and repair the source of leakage.
27. Check the temperature setting by observing an inline temperature sensor or by
measuring the temperature at the product inlet wrench flat at least 30 minutes
after supplying steam with the new settings. The product set temperature will be
approximately 10 to 20 C higher than the temperature reading on the product
body surface.
28. If the resultant temperature is no as desired, use the above instructions for
adjusting temperature settings. (See “Adjusting the Set Temperature”)

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 operation should also be checked by using diagnostic
equipment such as a product diagnostic instrument or a thermometer.
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 being discharged from the discharge outlet.
Condensate temperature should be around the set
temperature. (The surface temperature of the product should
be about 10 to 20 °C lower than the set temperature.)
Blocked
(Discharge Impossible)
:
No condensate is discharged and the surface temperature of
the product is low.
Blowing
:
Live steam continually flows from the outlet and there is a
continuous hissing sound of flow.
(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 if appropriate] in conjunction with the visual inspection is highly
recommended.)
Parts Inspection
When parts have been removed, or during periodic inspections, use the following
table to inspect the parts and replace any that are found to be defective.
