S - Ball float steam traps
5.5 Installation position

The steam trap can be installed for vertical flow (inlet directly from above).
The arrow on the side indicates the direction of flow.
However the steam trap must always be installed so that the ball float can work in a vertical
plane.
6.0 Putting the valve into operation
7.0 Care and maintenance
Maintanance and maintenance-intervals have to be defined by the operator according to
the requirements.
7.1 Cleaning / replacing controller assembly
- The steam trap is completely welded and can not be disassembled.
- Cleaning is by means of compressed air from both sides at various installation positions.
ATTENTION !
- Before putting the valve into operation, check material, pressure, temperature
and direction of flow.
- Regional safety instructions must be adhered to.
- Residues in piping and valves (dirt, weld beads, etc.) inevitably lead to leakage.
- Touching the valve when it is operating at high (> 50 °C) or low (< 0 °C) media
temperatures can cause injury.
Affix warning notice or protective insulation as appropriate!
Before putting a new plant into operation or restarting a plant after repairs or
modification, always make sure that:
- All works has been completed!
- The valve is in the correct position for its function.
- Safety devices have been attached.
ATTENTION !
- refer to item 10.0 and 11.0 prior to dismantling and repair work!
- refer to item 6.0 before restarting the plant!
Prior to installation, threads and seal faces should be coated with temperature-
stable lubricant (e.g. “OKS Anti-Seize Paste” white/metal-free).
