4. Proper Installation
CAUTION
NOTE: For socket weld connections, use electric arc welding with a single pass. Internal parts
are not damaged by one-pass welding.
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 a bypass valve to discharge condensate, and inlet and outlet valves to isolate the trap
in the event of trap failure or when carrying out maintenance.
4. 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.
5. Install the trap within the allowable inclination, as shown below, with the arrow on the
nameplate pointing in the direction of flow.
6. Make sure the "UP" sticker on the vertical type, or the name plate on the horizontal type is
facing up.
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 to more
than one trap.
8. Support the pipes properly within 0.8 meters (2.5 ft.) on either side of the trap.
9. The use of unions is recommended to facilitate connection and disconnection of the
screwed versions.
For horizontal installation
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.
Do not use excessive force when connecting threaded pipes.
●
Install for use under conditions in which no freeze-up will occur.
●
Install for use under conditions in which no water hammer will occur.
