4. Commissioning After installation or maintenance ensure that the system is fully functioning. Carry out tests on any alarms or protective devices. 5. Operation The float trap is a continuous discharge trap, removing condensate the instant it forms. On start-up, the thermostatic air vent allows air to bypass the main valve preventing the system air binding. - Page 9 6.4 How to fit the manually adjustable needle valve (SLR assembly): Unscrew the complete SLR assembly (19 and 21). Remove the SLR gasket (20). Replace the SLR assembly (19 and 21) and gasket (20) with new ones. Tighten the SLR assembly to the recommended torque (see Table 1). To provide the maximum steam bleed turn the slotted SLR stem anticlockwise until the limit is reached.
