4. Commissioning After installation or maintenance ensure that the system is fully functioning. Carry out tests on any alarms or protective devices. 5. Operation The UTD26 and UTD26Y are thermodynamic steam traps that use a disc to control the release of condensate and to trap steam.
6. Maintenance Note: Before actioning any maintenance programme observethe 'Safety information' in Section 1. Warning The inner and outer gaskets used when installing / maintaining the UTD26 and UTD26Y to a PC_ pipeline connector contain thin stainless steel support rings which may cause physical injury if not handled and disposed of carefully.
