Important Notes
Usage for the intended purpose
Use steam traps MK 35/2 S and MK 35/2 S 3 only for the discharge of condensed
water or for air venting from steam spaces.
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, plugs or the thermostatic capsule,
hot water and/or steam may escape. This presents the risk of severe
burns 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 trap becomes hot during operation.
This presents the danger of severe burns to hands and arms. Installation
and maintenance work should only be carried out when the system is
cold.
Sharp edges on internal parts present a danger of cuts to hands. Always
wear industrial gloves for installation and maintenance work.
Safety note
Installation must only be performed by qualified staff.
Qualified staff are those persons who – through adequate training in engineering,
the use and application of equipment in accordance with regulations concerning
steam systems, and first aid & accident prevention – have achieved a recognised
level of competence appropriate to the installation and commissioning of this
device.
