Note on Using and Servicing of
Auto Drain Assembly
Please note that Auto Drain Assembly 1.
will seal only with minimum pressure
of 7 psi. When there is no pressure at
all in the bowl, the Auto Drain will be
open allowing liquid to drain. This is a
design feature to facilitate overnight
draining of accumulated condensate.
Bowls with Auto Drain should be in-
2.
stalled in vertical condition only. Even
while testing, they should be held up-
right.
If the Auto Drain is leaking continuous-
3.
ly, a possible cause is foreign particles
are entrapped in the sealing area be-
tween parts (2) and (3). To clear these
particles, insert a small diameter ob-
ject similar to the tip of a pen into the
bottom of the Auto Drain as shown in
Sketch 1. This may displace the con-
taminating particles allowing proper
sealing of the drain seat.
If the liquid level continues to rise,
4.
proper draining is not occurring. In this
case, open Nut (6). The Auto Drain As-
sembly can now be removed from the
bowl.
Remove the Cap (1) and Float
5.
Assembly (2). It should not be dis-
mantled any further. Clean in mineral
spirits. Reassemble and use. While re-
assembling, ensure that black marked
lines on Float (2) and Auto Drain (3)
are in the same line. Ensure the thin
stainless steel pin on top of item (3) is
not damaged.
Should an Auto Drain continue to
6.
malfunction after such servicing,
replace the whole assembly .
