Disassembly/Reassembly 

 

 

When disassembling or removing the product, wait until the internal 

pressure equals atmospheric pressure and the surface of the product 

has cooled to room temperature. Disassembling or removing the 

product when it is hot or under pressure may lead to discharge of fluids, 

causing burns, other injuries or damage.

 

CAUTION 

 

Use the following procedures to remove components. Use the same procedures in 
reverse to reassemble. (Installation, inspection, maintenance, repairs, disassembly, 
adjustment and valve opening/closing should be carried out only by trained maintenance 
personnel.)

During Disassembly 

During Reassembly 

Connector Bolts  Remove with a socket wrench 

Consult the table of tightening torques 
and tighten to the proper torque 

Trap Unit 

Remove the trap unit 

Follow the special instructions below 
(See Fig.A) 

Connector 
Gaskets 

Remove with a scraper and clean the 
connector flange with a soft tool. 

Replace with new gaskets; to facilitate 
assembly and prevent loosening of the 
gaskets, apply a small amount of 
adhesive at 120º intervals around the 
outer edge of the gaskets 

 

Attaching the Trap Unit to the Connector Body 

1.  If attaching a new trap unit, be sure to remove the protective 

cap from the connector flange. Be careful not to drop the 
gaskets when removing the cap. 

2.  Grasp the end of the trap unit and align its gasket housing 

with the indentation on the connector body. Be sure to have 
the nameplate facing upwards. 

3.  Once aligned, insert and finger tighten the connector bolts. 

Verify that the trap unit is within the allowable inclination.
