Important Notes
Usage for the intended purpose
Use steam trap only for the discharge of condensed water in pipe lines or for air-venting within the
admissible pressure/temperature ratings. Check the corrosion resistance and chemical suitability of the
steam trap for the application in question.
For information on the application in potentially explosive areas see section “ATEX Directive 94/9/EC,
999/9/EC” on page 5.
Danger
The equipment is under pressure during operation.
When loosening flanged connections or sealing plugs, 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 equipment from both upstream and downstream
pressure.
The equipment 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.
Before carrying out any kind of maintenance work or undoing flanged connections or
sealing plugs make sure that all connected lines are depressurized (0 bar) and cooled
down to room temperature.
Sharp edges on internal parts present a danger of cuts to hands. Always wear industrial
gloves when replacing the regulator or the strainer.
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
recognized 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.
