Usage for the intended purpose
Use steam trap BK 15 only for the discharge of condensate in steam lines or for air
venting. Use this equipment only within the specified pressure and temperature
ratings and check corrosion resistance and chemical suitability for the application in
question.
Danger
The steam trap is under pressure during operation.
When loosening flanged connections, sealing plugs or the regulator hot
water or steam may escape. This presents the danger of severe burns and
scalds to the whole body.
Installation and maintenance work should only be carried out when the
system is depressurized: isolate the trap from both upstream and
downstream pressure.
The steam trap becomes hot during operation. This presents the risk of
severe burns to hands and arms. Installation and maintenance work should
only be carried out at room temperatures.
Sharp edges on internals present a danger of cuts to hands. Always wear
industrial gloves for installation and maintenance work.
Safety Note
The valve must only be installed by qualified staff.
Qualified staff are those persons who – through adequate training in engineering, the
use and application of safety equipment in accordance with regulations concerning
safety systems, and first aid & accident prevention – have achieved a recognised level
of competence appropriate to the installation and commissioning of this device.
