    (3) Pressure Reducing Valve on the Motive Medium Supply Piping: • When the supply pressure of the motive medium is greater than the maximum operating pressure of the PowerTrap, install a TLV COSPECT series pressure reducing valve. Make sure that the motive medium pressure is lower than the maximum operating pressure of the PowerTrap.
  • Page 12 The check valve on the inlet pipe in particular should be installed right next to the PowerTrap. • Only TLV check valves (CK3MG, CKF3MG) should be used; proper discharge capacity cannot be guaranteed with other check valves. 172-65318MA-04 (GP10/GT10/GP14/GT14 PowerTrap) 23 Nov 2018...
