Do not use excessive force when connecting threaded pipes CAUTION to the product. Over-tightening may cause breakage leading to fluid discharge, which may cause burns or other injury. Use only under conditions in which no freeze-up will occur. Freezing may damage the product, leading to fluid discharge, which may cause burns or other injury.
3. 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? 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 product? 5.
Operation Principles of air and condensate discharge: 1. Start-up air and cold condensate discharge At start-up, the bimetal air vent ring is cold and has therefore contracted, causing it to ride up the valve seat skirt to the narrower area under the disc, thus lifting the disc off the seat and holding the valve open.
