loss damage or consequential damage to property or persons caused by explosions,
poisoning or other accidents due to use with hazardous fluids.
This free float gas trap uses a precision-polished float and three-point seating for the
valve body. With no hinges or levers, the trap continuously discharges condensate,
preventing it from collecting. The three-point seating supports the precision-polished
float securely at three points and ensures a high degree of sealing when even only
minute quantities of condensate are present. The trap can also be disassembled and
reassembled while still installed in the piping, which results in considerable time
savings and facilitates repair and maintenance.
This gas trap’s outstanding features of the precision-polished float and three-point
seating, combined with a mechanism that has a proven record of success, increase
the efficiency of a variety of systems and reduce time and labor needed for
maintenance and bypass blowdown operations.
If detailed instructions for special order specifications or options not contained in this
manual are required, please contact 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.

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.
CAUTION
Check to make sure that the pipes to be connected to the trap have been installed
properly.
1. Is the pipe diameter suitable?
2. Is the piping where the trap is to be installed horizontal?
3. Has sufficient space been secured for maintenance?
4. Have isolation valves and a strainer (40 mesh or finer) been installed at the inlet
and outlet? If the outlet is subject to back pressure, has a check valve 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 trap?
6. Has the piping work been done correctly, as shown in the figures below?
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 –50 mm (1 –
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 condensate discharge from a gas medium:
1. At Start-up
At start-up, a small amount of condensate will
have accumulated in the body. The float and the
orifice will from a water-seal.
NOTE: When there is no condensate in the
body, it will be necessary to prime the
trap with a small amount of liquid through
the pressure-balancing line to ensure a
seal (after initial installation and after
disassembly maintenance).
2. Condensate Discharge
As condensate enters the trap, the float rises
due to buoyancy, opening the orifice and
allowing condensate to be discharged.
Increasing condensate inflow causes the float to
rise more further enlargening the opening. In this
manner, continuous condensate discharge
occurs while the opening size of the orifice
varies depending on the condensate flow rate.
3. Closed Position
When the condensate flow rate decreases, the
float falls, closing off the orifice opening. A water
seal is maintained at all times over the orifice to
prevent steam loss.

The Need for a Pressure-balancing Line
In principle, gas traps automatically and continuously discharge condensate that
flows in. However, gas caught in the piping or trap body may obstruct condensate
flow. This phenomenon is called “air binding”. Air binding occurs more often in piping
with long horizontal lengths, smaller diameters or multiple bends. To prevent air
binding and ensure gas can be displaced by incoming condensate, a pressure-
balancing line should be installed between the trap cover and the dry portion of the
receiver tank or gas main.
Connect the pressure-balancing line in the following manner:
Receiver Tank Gas Main
Secondary Side Precautions
Take measures to ensure the proper handling, such as recovery or
dilution, of hazardous fluids discharged at product outlets. Outflow of
fluid or fluid leaks may lead to hazards such as flammable conditions or
corrosion, which may result in injury, fires, damage or other accidents.
CAUTION
Be sure to take precautions on the secondary side when using flammable, toxic or
other hazardous gases.
Sample precautionary procedures:
1. Flare method
2. Collection in a seal pot
3. Collection in a sealed container

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.
Blowing
:
Gas continually flows from the outlet and there is a high-
pitched hissing sound.
Gas Leakage
:
Gas is discharged through the trap outlet together with
condensate, accompanied by a high-pitched hissing sound.
