When disassembling or removing the product, wait until the CAUTION internal pressure equals atmospheric pressure and the surface of the product has cooled to room temperature. Disassembling or removing the product when it is hot or under pressure may lead to discharge of fluids, causing burns, other injuries or damage.
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 product? 6.
Operation Principles of air and condensate discharge: 1. Air and Cold Condensate Discharge at Startup At startup, before steam is supplied, the system is cold and the bimetal plate is flexed downward, keeping the air vent valve (A) open. This allows for the rapid discharge of air through vent (A) and cold condensate through orifice (B) when steam is first supplied to the system.
***The nominal diameter is not printed on the trap unit nameplate when the trap unit is shipped by itself. Compatibility The FJ32 QuickTrap series employ a unique TLV connector unit (F46J) and are not compatible with QuickTraps using connector unit F32 or others. Trap and connector units must only be used with compatible models.

BD2 Blowdown Valve Operation The BD2 valve is in the closed position when the BD2 is shipped from the factory. Before attempting to operate the BD2, reconfirm that the BD2 valve is still in the closed position. Locate the blow outlet and, during operation, stand to the side and well clear of it, as the jet of condensate or steam could cause burns.
