Usage for the intended purpose
Use steam traps SMK 22, SMK 22-5 only for the discharge of condensed water or for air venting
steam spaces.
Use this equipment only for the discharge of condensate from steam lines within the specified
pressure and temperature ratings and check the corrosion resistance and chemical suitability for the
application in question.
Important Notes
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.
Safety note
The equipment must only be installed and commissioned by qualified staff.
Maintenance and retrofitting must only be performed by adequately trained persons who have a
recognised level of competence.

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 97/2/EC.
For applications with fluids of group 2.
According to section . the equipment is excluded from the scope of this directive and must therefore
not be CE marked.
