General Description
This product is a steam trap set designed to ease installation of the motive medium supply pipe for the
GT5C. Stable operation of the GT5C can be obtained due to smooth condensate removal from the
motive medium supply pipe by the LV21-C steam trap.

Installation & Operational Consideration
Before installing the product, blow out the piping to remove any piping scraps, dirt, oil
and scale. Failure to do so may lead to early clogging due to an initial heavy load of foreign
material in the piping.
CAUTION
Do not remove the product from its box or protective covering until just prior to
installation. The protective covers keep damage causing foreign material out of the product.

After the product is installed, it will look like the figure shown below. Installation, removal, or
disassembly should be carried out by trained personnel.
The product is available for cast iron or stainless steel types depending on the material used
for the PowerTrap GT5C. The joint for lower part of the tube is not available for the cast iron
type.
