Important Notes
Usage for the intended purpose
Use steam traps BK 37..., BK 28... and BK 29... only for the discharge of condensed water or for
air-venting in steam lines within the admissible pressure/temperature ratings. Check the corrosion
resistance and chemical suitability of this pressure equipment 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 and/or
steam may escape. This presents the risk of severe scalding.
Installation and maintenance work should only be carried out when the system is
depressurized (0 bar): 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 (20°C).
Sharp edges on internal parts present a danger of cuts to hands. Always wear industrial
gloves when replacing the regulator.
Safety note
The equipment must only be installed and commissioned by qualified staff.
Maintenance and service work must only be performed by adequately trained persons who have a
recognised level of competence.
Attention
The name plate indicates the technical specification of the equipment.
Do not commission or operate a steam trap without name plate.
The equipment does not have its own potential source of ignition and is therefore not subject to the
ATEX Directive 94/9/EC. The equipment can be used in potentially explosive areas 0, , 2, 20, 2, 22
(999/92/EC). The equipment is not Ex marked.
PED (Pressure Equipment Directive)
The equipment fulfills the requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive PED 97/23/EC.
For applications with fluids of group 2. With CE marking (apart from equipment according to
section 3.3).
