Operational inspections should be performed at least twice per year, or as called for by trap
operating conditions. Faulty steam traps may result in losses due to steam leakage. Follow the
instructions below for disassembly and reassembly when cleaning or repair is necessary.
• Installation, inspection, maintenance, repairs, disassembly, adjustment
CAUTION
• Before attempting to open the trap, close the inlet and outlet isolation valves and wait until
the trap has cooled to room temperature. Failure to do so may result in burns or injury.
• Be sure to use the proper components and NEVER attempt to modify the product.
