BI-METAL STEAM TRAP

INSTALLATION

Traps should be installed in easily accessible position and location for servicing. The maximum differential pressure stamped on product name plate must be higher than the maximum differential pressure across the trap. 

1.Pitch all horizontal inlet lines towards the stream trap to help eliminate potential water hammer problems.

2.A dirt pocket and strainer (with blow down) should always be provided before trap.

3.Union fittings or flange connection and shut off valves should be installed on both sides of trap for ease of servicing and trap testing.

4.Install a test valve in outlet pipe and cap it. This allows trap to be tested. 

5.Blowdown piping using full steam pressure for (5) five minutes prior to service. This cleaning process will remove debris from piping.

6.Perform maintenance and cleaning 2/3 days after startup until system is clean. Then perform maintenance every 6/12 months in normal operation.
