Important Notes
Safety note
The equipment must only be installed 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.
The trap is under pressure during operation.
When loosening flanged connections, plugs or the control unit hot water, steam,
corrosive fluids or toxic gases may escape.
This presents the risk of severe scalds and acid burns to the whole body.
Toxic gases may cause severe cases of poisoning.
Before carrying out installation and maintenance work make sure the system is
depressurized.
Isolate the trap from both upstream and downstream pressure.
The trap becomes hot during operation.
This presents the risk of severe burns to hands and arms.
Before carrying out installation and maintenance work make sure that the trap is cold.
Sharp edges on internals present a danger of cuts to hands. Always wear industrial
gloves when replacing the control unit.
Danger
Usage for the intended purpose
Use steam traps UNA 14, UNA 16, UNA 16 A and air trap UNA 14 P only for the discharge of condensate
and liquids.
UNA 14, UNA 16, UNA 16A:
Use the 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.
UNA 14P:
Use the equipment only for the discharge of condensate from compressed air lines or other gas lines
within the specified pressure and temperature ratings and check the corrosion resistance and chemical
suitability for the application in question.
