  • 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 Symbols Indicates a DANGER, WARNING or CAUTION item.
  • 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 plate is flexed downward, keeping the air vent valve (A) open. This allows for the rapid discharge of air through vent (A) and cold condensate through orifice (B) when steam is first supplied to the system.

    (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: Disassembly/Reassembly

    Disassembly/Reassembly NEVER apply direct heat to the float.
