  • Page 4 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.
  • Page 5: Checking The Piping

    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.
  • Page 6: Operation

    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 air vent strip is contracted, holding the float off the valve seat. This allows for the rapid discharge of air and cold condensate through the valve when steam is first supplied to the system.

    Compatibility  The FS21-L/FS21-H QuickTraps 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.
