Important Notes
Safety Notes
Installation must only be performed 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.
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: 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.
Sharp edges on internal parts present a danger of cuts to hands. Always wear industrial
gloves for installation and maintenance work.
Conformity with EC Pressure Equipment Directive No. 97/23
