When the product is delivered, before doing anything else, check the specifications and external appearance to make sure nothing is out of the ordinary.
The three types of cautionary items above are very important for safety: be sure to observe all of them as they relate to installation, use, maintenance, and repair. Furthermore, TLV accepts no responsibility for any accidents or damage occurring as a result of failure to observe these precautions.

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 trap? 6.
* Maximum allowable pressure (PMA) and maximum allowable temperature (TMA) are PRESSURE SHELL DESIGN CONDITIONS, NOT OPERATING CONDITIONS. ** Valve No. is displayed for products with options. This item is omitted from the nameplate when there are no options. 172-65441A-04 (JL14-X/JLH14-X/JLH14-B) 20 Jan 2021...

NOTE: Be sure to size outlet piping large enough to accommodate any flash steam that may form to prevent any increase in back pressure. (Outlet pipe size should always be properly calculated, contact TLV for assistance.) Inlet, outlet and bypass valves must be full bore valves.
Steam Leakage: Live steam is discharged through the product outlet together with condensate, accompanied by a high-pitched sound. NOTE: JL14-X, JLH14-X and JLH14-B (option) have a minimum required condensate load requirement to ensure proper sealing.
