Product Warranty ............16 Options ................17 Introduction Thank you for purchasing the TLV free float 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.
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.

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. 172-65484MA-04 (JH3S-B/JH5SL-B/JH5SH-B) 7 Jan 2019...
4. Have maintenance 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 trap? 6.
4. Closed Position When the condensate flow rate decreases, the float falls, closing off the orifice (B) opening. A water seal is maintained at all times over the orifice (B) to prevent steam loss. Steam Condensate 172-65484MA-04 (JH3S-B/JH5SL-B/JH5SH-B) 7 Jan 2019...

(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 – in conjunction with the visual inspection is highly recommended.)
