Proper Installation - TLV QuickTrap FP32 Manuel D'utilisation

5. Proper Installation

CAUTION
• 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.
1. In some instances, the trap unit and the connector body are sent as separate units. When
attaching them together, make sure the connector gaskets are still in place after having
removed their protective seal (See page 11 for details).
2. There are no restrictions on the installation direction beyond the following conditions:
a) The arrow on the connector body must point in the direction of condensate flow.
b) The connector body must be adjusted so that the connector flange face (for connecting to
the trap unit) is in the vertical plane.
c) The nameplate on the trap unit must face upward.
3. Before installation, be sure to remove all protective seals.
4. Before installing the trap, blow out the inlet piping to remove all dirt and oil.
5. Install the trap in the lowest part of the pipeline or equipment so the condensate flows naturally
into the trap by gravity. The inlet pipe should be as short and have as few bends as possible.
6. Support the pipes properly within 800 mm (2.5 ft) on either side of the trap.
7. Install a bypass valve to discharge condensate, and inlet and outlet valves to isolate the trap in
the event of trap failure or maintenance.
8. Install a check valve at the trap outlet whenever more than one trap is connected to the
condensate collection pipeline.
9. In order to avoid excessive back pressure, make sure the discharge pipes are large enough;
(the outlet back pressure allowance should be no more than 80% of the inlet steam pressure).
10. We recommend unions to facilitate connection and disconnection of screwed models.
