  • Page 5: Checking The Piping

    3. Have maintenance valves been installed at the inlet and outlet? If the outlet is subject to back pressure, has a check valve (TLV-CK) been installed? 4. 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? 5.
