Page 4: Safety Considerations
• 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. - Page 5 Caution Use only under conditions in which no water hammer will occur. The impact of water hammer may damage the product, leading to fluid discharge, which may cause burns or other injury.

Page 6: Operation
Operation Principles of air and condensate discharge: 1. Initial Air Discharge At start-up, before steam is supplied the system is cold and air occupies the system. When steam is first supplied to the system, air is discharged through the drain hole (B) while the orifice (A) is closed by the float. - Page 7 4. Closed Position When the condensate flow rate decreases, the float falls, closing off the orifice opening (A). When condensate flow rate becomes less than the minimum amount of condensate required to prevent steam discharge, some amount of steam is discharged from the drain hole (B).
