Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the
thermostatic 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 steam trap is of a revolutionary design that uses a universal flange, and X-element
for the trap. 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.
This is a new type of valve mechanism in which a thermoliquid is sealed inside the X-
element and the valve opens or closes based on the difference between the saturation
temperatures of the thermoliquid and the water. The X-element is very sensitive to
changes in temperature, and responds with great accuracy, quickly discharging air and
the large quantities of condensate created immediately after operation start-up, thereby
greatly reducing start-up time. It also reacts with great sensitivity to the inflow of large
quantities of condensate and hot air during operation, preventing air binding.
The superior features of this steam trap’s X-element increase heating efficiency and
reduce manpower requirements for maintenance and bypass blowdown.
If detailed instructions for special order specifications or options not contained in this
manual are required, please contact
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.
