  • 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 heat-resistant gloves when operating the needle valve and keep all 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. 172-65426MA-07 (J3S-X/J5S-X/J6S-X) 26 Aug 2021...
  • Page 5: Checking The Piping

    4. Have maintenance 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 trap? 6.

    (B). A water seal is maintained at all times over the orifice (B) to prevent steam loss. NOTE: The high steam temperature causes the X-element to expand, keeping the air vent closed. Steam Condensate 172-65426MA-07 (J3S-X/J5S-X/J6S-X) 26 Aug 2021...
