Page 4: 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 5 Caution 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. 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 6: Checking The Piping
5. 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? 6. 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? 7. -
Page 7: Operation
Operation Principles of air and condensate discharge: 1. Start-up air and cold condensate discharge At start-up, before steam is supplied, the trap is cold so the X-element is contracted and the air vent valve (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 8 5. Closed position When the condensate flow rate decreases, the X-element expands due to the heat of the steam, closing the air vent valve (A). In addition, the float falls as condensate is discharged, closing off the orifice (B). A water seal is maintained at all times over the orifice (B) to prevent steam loss.

Page 13: 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 14 Float: Check for scratches or dents Orifice Opening: Check for dirt, oil film, wear or scratches...

Page 15: Disassembly/Reassembly
Disassembly/Reassembly Warning NEVER apply direct heat to the float. The float may explode due to increased internal pressure, causing accidents leading to serious injury or damage to property and equipment. Caution Use hoisting equipment for heavy objects (weighing approximately 20 kg (44 lb) or more). Failure to do so may result in back strain or other injury if the object should fall. - Page 16 Part Name During Disassembly During Reassembly X-element Screen Remove from the X-element case Insert after making sure of the correct orientation Spring Clip 19 Pinch the insides together and remove Insert securely into the guide in the (X-element 20) from the X-element case X-element case X-element 20 Remove from the X-element case...
