Option: Pressure-balancing Line Connection (no X-element) ..................23 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. -
Page 3: Safety Considerations
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. - Page 4 Use gloves when operating the lock release valve and keep all CAUTION body parts well clear of the product. Failure to do so could result in burns, other injury or damage from the blowing of small amounts of steam and condensate. When disassembling or removing the product, wait until the internal pressure equals atmospheric pressure and the surface of the product has cooled to room temperature.

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. Initial Air and Cold Condensate Discharge At startup, before steam is supplied, the trap is cold so the X-element is contracted and the air vent valve seat (A) is open. This allows for the rapid discharge of air through the air vent valve (A) and cold condensate through the orifice (B), when steam is first supplied to the system. -
Page 7: Specifications
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.

Page 11: Maintenance
(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.) -
Page 12: Operating The Optional Lock Release Valve
Operating the Optional Lock Release Valve Use only under conditions in which no water hammer will occur. CAUTION The impact of water hammer may damage the product, leading to fluid discharge, which may cause burns or other injury. Use on equipment where steam-locking/air binding, which slows the discharge of condensate and reduces equipment efficiency, tends to occur (cylindrical dryers, air fin heater, etc.). - Page 13 Steam Discharge (valve fully open) Air Discharge (valve fully open) Differential Pressure (psi) Differential Pressure (psi) * Capacities are equivalent capacities of standard air (air at 68°F and atmospheric pressure) 172-65132MA-07 (JX Series) 16 Feb 2022...
