5. Proper Installation
CAUTION
1. Before installation, be sure to remove all protective seals.
2. Before installing the product, blow out the inlet piping to remove any piping scraps, dirt and oil.
Close the inlet valve after blowdown.
3. Install the product vertically within the allowable inclination, as shown below, with the arrow on
the body pointing in the direction of flow. Make sure the word UP on the body is facing
upwards.
4. Install condensate outlet piping.
5. Open the inlet and outlet valves and check to make sure that the product functions properly.
6. After steam has passed through the piping, allow the trap to cool and then further tighten the
clamp.
6. Operational Check
A visual inspection can be carried out to aid in determining the necessity for immediate maintenance
or repair, if the trap is open to atmosphere. If the trap does not discharge to atmosphere, use
diagnostic equipment such as a stethoscope or thermometer.
Normal:
Condensate is discharged continuously with flash steam and the sound of
flow can be heard.
Blocked:
No condensate is discharged. The trap is quiet, making no noise, and the
surface temperature of the trap is low.
Blowing:
Live steam continually flows from the outlet and there is a continuous metallic
sound.
Steam Leakage:
Live steam is discharged through the trap outlet together with the condensate,
and there is a high-pitched sound.
Note: The SS5P/SS5EP clean steam traps have a small built-in drain hole to ensure no
condensate remains in the trap after operation. Therefore, a minimum condensate load is
required during operation to prevent any steam discharge. If the condensate load is less
than the minimum condition, a small amount live steam will be discharged along with any
condensate.
• Installation, inspection, maintenance, repairs, disassembly, adjustment
and valve opening/closing should be carried out only by trained
maintenance personnel.
• Take measures to prevent people from coming into direct contact with
product outlets.
• Install for use under conditions in which no freeze-up will occur.
• Install for use under conditions in which no water hammer will occur.
