4. Proper Installation
CAUTION
1. Before installation, be sure to remove all protective seals.
2. Before installing the trap, blow out the inlet piping to remove all dirt and oil.
3. Install the trap in the lowest part of the pipeline or equipment so the condensate flows
naturally downward into the trap by gravity. The inlet pipe should be as short and have as
few bends as possible.
4. Install the trap within the allowable inclination, as shown below. Also make sure that the
arrow mark on the body corresponds with the direction of flow.
5. When completing the piping, support the pipes properly within 800 mm (2.5 ft) on either side
of the trap.
6. Install a bypass valve to discharge condensate, and inlet and outlet valves to isolate the trap
in the event of trap failure or when performing maintenance.
7. Install a check valve at the trap outlet whenever the condensate discharge pipe leads to a
tank or recovery line, or whenever the condensate collection pipeline is connected with more
than one trap.

• 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.
• Use hoisting equipment for heavy objects.
• Install for use under conditions in which no freeze-up will occur.
• Install for use under conditions in which no water hammer will occur.
