Installation AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
BALANCED PRESSURE THERMOSTATIC CLEAN STEAM TRAPS

GENERAL


These instructions must be carefully read before any work involving products supplied by VALSTEAM ADCA
ENGINEERING S.A. is undertaken.

The installation procedure is a critical stage in a life of a steam trap and care should be taken to avoid damage
to the trap or equipment.

The TSS 7 and TSS 6 steam traps are specially designed to remove air and condensate from clean and pure
steam systems. They give their maximum performance only when the equipment associated with them is
correctly sized and installed in accordance with our recommendations.
Note:

Current regional safety regulations should be take in to account and followed, while doing the installation and
Maintenance work.

Handling, installation and maintenance work must be carried out by trained personnel. A supervisor must follow
and check all activities.

For the problems that cannot be solve with the help of this instructions, please contact the supplier or the
manufacturer.

The manufacturer reserves the right to change the design and material of this product without notice.
- If malfunction of any other equipment or system operation failure may result in a dangerous overpressure, over
temperature or even vacuum condition, a safety device must be included in the system to prevent such
situations.
- At start up, the presence of small particles in the fluid (dirt, scale, weld splatters, etc) may cause an imperfect
closure of the seat. If this occurs, proceed to an accurate cleaning.
- Do not touch the equipment without appropriate protection during working operation because it may conduct
heat if the used fluid is at high temperature.
- Before starting maintenance be sure that the equipment is not pressurized or hot. Even if upstream and
downstream isolating valves have been closed care should be taken since fluid under pressure may be trapped
between them.
- Before removing the cover of the equipment make sure that its temperature has decreased to ambient
levels, otherwise damage of the thermostatic element may occur, due to thermal chock.
- The equipments must be used within the working temperature and pressure limits laid down for them, otherwise
they may fail (refer to nameplate and/or IS- Information Sheet).
- Manual handling of products may present a risk of injury. You are advised to assess the risks taking into
account the task, the individual, the load and the working environment.
- Before starting work ensure that you have suitable tools and/or consumables available. Use only genuine ADCA
replacement parts.
- Do not remove the nameplate attached to the equipment. Serial number and other useful information is
stamped on it.
- During the assembly work, apply protective measures against dirt.
- The equipment should be carefully handled, to prevent any damage on the machined surfaces.
- Correct installation of the equipment is full responsibility of the contractor.
- Steam traps are designed to be applied in places protected from exposure to weather.
- We recommend special constructions or protective measures for applications on the outside or in adverse
environments like corrosion-promoting conditions (sea water, chemical vapors, etc).
