TLV EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTY ......14 Service ................16 Introduction Thank you for purchasing the TLV balanced pressure thermostatic steam trap. This product has been thoroughly inspected before being shipped from the factory. When the product is delivered, before doing anything else, check the specifications and external appearance to make sure nothing is out of the ordinary.

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. Refer to the product nameplate for detailed specifications. LV13L/LV13N LV5/LV13/LV21 Model Nominal Diameter Valve No. Production Lot No.
4. LV13L: Install in the piping with the inlet horizontal and the outlet vertical (with the cover facing upwards). LV5/LV13/LV21: Can be installed either vertically or horizontally. Make sure the inlet side is at the top if installed vertically. There may be a slight increase in the amount of steam leakage if installed horizontally.
(When conducting a visual inspection, flash steam is sometimes mistaken for steam leakage. For this reason, the use of a steam trap diagnostic instrument [such as TLV TrapMan if appropriate] in conjunction with the visual inspection is highly recommended.)
