Important Notes
Usage for the intended purpose
Use steam trap BK 27N 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.
Danger
The steam trap is under pressure during operation.
When loosening flanged connections, 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 or the strainer.
