Standard Factory Setting ("0" Position):
The standard "0" position is the position where point (A), the
bottom of the adjusting screw slot is even with point (B), the
top surface of the cap.

Set Temperature Adjustment Chart
The trap can be set to open at any temperature between 50 °C and 200 °C (120 °F and 390 °F)
provided the set temperature is at least 15 °C (27 °F) below saturated steam temperature.
To determine the number and direction of adjusting screw turns required for the desired set
temperature, refer to the charts below.
1. Start at the standard factory setting (point A) (100 °C at 0.9 MPaG, 9 barg; 212 °F at 130 psig).
2. Move up or down vertically to the desired set temperature (point B).
3. Follow the set temperature line in either direction to the vertical line corresponding to the
actual operating steam pressure (point C).
4. Follow the horizontal line to where it meets the left side of the chart (point D), indicating the
number and direction of turns required. (- turn: clockwise, + turn: counterclockwise)
