TLV TRAP STATION V1 Serie Installation page 3

Installation
1. Before installation, be sure to remove all protective seals.
2. Before installing the product, blow out the piping to remove any piping scraps, dirt and oil.
3. Install the product so the arrow on the body is pointing in the direction of condensate flow.
4. Install on horizontal piping within the allowable inclination, as shown below. The handwheel ring(s) should be in
vertical plane(s) with the BD2 blowdown valve facing downward. (BD2 not included with V1-RL or V2-RL).
5. If a blowdown valve or test valve is not installed on the product, the product may be installed in either vertical or
horizontal orientation. However, ensure the inlet is facing upwards for vertical piping. The allowable inclination for
the installation surface for the trap unit is within 5° as shown below.
6. Install the trap unit onto the trap station. For installation instructions see the instruction manual shipped with the
trap unit.
7. Connect the outlet piping.
8. Open the inlet and outlet valves slowly and check to make sure that the product functions properly.

Blowdown Valve / Test Valve Operation
The BD2 Blowdown Valve, installed in place of the screen holder, uses internal pressure to blow out condensate/steam,
dirt and scale to the atmosphere. The test valve is installed at the outlet of the trap. By closing the outlet valve for the
trap station and opening the test valve it becomes possible to test the operation of the trap. The TLV blowdown valve
BD2 is used for both the blowdown valve and the test valve. For operation refer to the BD2 operation instructions
below.
NOTE: Do not leave the vicinity while the BD2 valve is in the open position.
1. The BD2 valve is in the closed position when the Trap Station is shipped from the factory. Before attempting to
operate the blowdown valve and the test valve, reconfirm that the BD2 valve is still in the closed position. Locate
the blow outlet and, during operation, stand to the side and well clear of it, as the jet of condensate or steam could
cause burns.
2. Before opening the BD2 valve, grip the BD2 valve seat with a wrench and hold firmly in place so that it will not
rotate when the BD2 valve is loosened. Grip the BD2 valve with another wrench and slowly loosen. Condensate and
steam will discharge from the discharge hole in a jet stream. Be careful not to loosen the BD2 valve so far that it
becomes removed from the BD2 valve. (If the valve stopper pin becomes damaged, large quantities of steam will be
discharged in a jet stream.)
3. Close the BD2 valve until the flow of fluid completely stops. If the flow of fluid does not stop, re-open the valve (as
in step 2) to blow out any scale or dirt that may be caught in the valve. Re-tighten the valve until the flow of fluid
stops completely.
