Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the TLV free float steam trap.
This product has been thoroughly inspected before being shipped from the factory.
When the product is delivered, before doing anything else, check the specifications and
external appearance to make sure nothing is out of the ordinary. Also be sure to read
this manual carefully before use and follow the instructions to be sure of using the
product properly.
This free float steam trap uses a universal flange, a precision-ground float and three-
point support for the valve body. The three-point seating for the valve body supports the
precision-ground float securely at three points and ensures a high degree of sealing for
even minute quantities of condensate.
The universal flange allows the trap to be installed in either horizontal or vertical piping.
This flexibility greatly reduces the time required for installation and removal, as
compared to conventional steam traps, and also facilitates repair and maintenance
operations.
The trap contains a built-in air vent, allowing a large amount of initial condensate and
air to be discharged, significantly reducing start-up time.
If detailed instructions for special order specifications or options not contained in this
manual are required, please contact TLV for full details.
This instruction manual is intended for use with the model(s) listed on the front cover. It
is necessary not only for installation, but for subsequent maintenance, disassembly/
reassembly and troubleshooting. Please keep it in a safe place for future reference.
