2. The pressure/temperature limits in this Instruction Manual and any applicable standard or code limitation should not be exceeded.
3. Emerson Process Management Regulator Technologies, Inc. (Emerson) recommends ISO filled Actuator above 500 psi / 34.5 bar and for superheated steam. Emerson recommends
skirted seat above 300 psi / 20.7 bar.

Principle of Operation

Thermal actuator is filled at its free length with a
liquid having a lower boiling point than water. As
assembled, valve is normally open. When very hot
condensate enters trap, thermal actuator fill vaporizes
to a pressure higher than line pressure. This forces
valve into seat orifice to prevent any further flow. As
condensate collects, it takes heat from the actuator,
lowering internal pressure. Line pressure will then
compress thermal actuator to open valve and
discharge condensate. Valve opening automatically
adjusts to load conditions from minimum on very light
loads to full lift at maximum load. Optional blowdown
valve allows fast and easy cleaning of internal strainer
without removing trap from operation.

Installation

WARNING
Personal injury or system damage may
result if this steam trap is installed,
without appropriate overpressure
protection, where service conditions
could exceed the limits given in the
Specifications section and/or steam
trap nameplate.
Additionally, physical damage to the
steam trap may result in personal injury
or property damage due to escaping of
accumulated gas. To avoid such injury
and damage, install the steam trap in a
safe location.
