1. General safety information

Safe operation of these units can only be guaranteed if they are properly installed,

commissioned and maintained by a qualified person (see Section 11 of the attached

Supplementary Safety Information) in compliance with the operating instructions. General

installation and safety instructions for pipeline and plant construction, as well as the

proper use of tools and safety equipment must also be complied with.

Warning

The cover gasket contains a thin stainless steel support ring which may cause physical

injury if not handled and disposed of carefully.

Isolation

Consider whether closing isolating valves will put any other part of the system or

personnel at risk. Dangers might include; isolation of vents and protective devices or

alarms. Ensure isolation valves are turned off in a gradual way to avoid system shocks.

Pressure

Before attempting any maintenance consider what is or may have been in the pipeline.

Ensure that any pressure is isolated and safely vented to atmospheric pressure before

attempting to maintain the product, this is easily achieved by fitting Spirax Sarco

depressurisation valves type DV (see separate literature for details). Do not assume

that the system is depressurised even when a pressure gauge indicates zero.

Temperature

Allow time for temperature to normalise after isolation to avoid the danger of burns and

consider whether protective clothing (including safety glasses) is required.

Disposal

These products are recyclable. No ecological hazard is anticipated with the disposal of

these products providing due care is taken.

3. Installation

Note: Before actioning any installation observe the 'Safety information' in Section 1.

Warning

The cover gasket contains a thin stainless steel support ring, which may cause

physical injury if not handled and disposed of carefully.

Referring to the Installation and Maintenance Instructions, name-plate, and Technical Information

Sheet, check that the product is suitable for its intended use.

3.1 Check materials, pressure and temperature and their maximum values. If the maximum

operating limit of the product is lower than that of the system in which it is being fitted,

ensure that a safety device is included in the system to prevent overpressurisation.

3.2 Determine the correct installation situation and direction of fluid flow – please be aware that

the flow direction is not the same for all FT trap types or sizes. However the flow direction

will be clearly marked on the trap body.

3.3 Remove protective covers from all connections.

3.4 The trap must be fitted with the float arm in a horizontal plane so that it rises and falls

vertically. Note: The trap can be visually checked for its correct orientation by reading the

writing on the body, cover, and name-plate. If installed correctly the writing will be seen to

be displayed the correct way up.

3.5 The trap should be fitted below the outlet of the steam system, with a small drop leg

immediately proceeding the trap, typically 150 mm (6") . See Fig. 5. If no drop leg is allowed

forthenitmay be possible(underlowloadconditions)for steam toflowoverthecondensate

in the bottom of the pipe and reach the trap.

3.6 Float traps should be fitted as close to the outlet of the plant to be drained as possible

otherwise the trap can steam lock. Steam locking occurs when the pipe between the

condensate outlet and the steam trap fills with steam and prevents condensate from

reachingthetrap.Thiscan lead to the system waterlogging which will affect plantefficiency.

It is very similar to the air locking experienced in water systems.

Themostcommonapplicationwheresteamlockingisariskisonrotatingcylindersandother

applications where condensate is removed via a dip tube or siphon pipe. Steam locking can

easily be prevented by fitting the trap with a combined thermostatic air vent and steam lock

release valve (SLR), Fig. 6 shows an FT-C trap fitted on a slow speed cylinder.

The SLR valve is opened by turning the spindle anticlockwise. The standard factory setting

is ½turn which equates to an approximate steam 'bypass' of 22 kg/h @ 10 bar.

SiteadjustmentoftheSLR can be achieved by turning anticlockwise to increase thebypass

flow, and clockwise to reduce the flow.

When draining from a high speed cylinder application, there is need for large amounts of

blow-through steam to assist the flow of condensate out of the cylinder via the siphon tube.

In such cases the SLR cannot handle such large amounts and an external bypass with an

adjustable needle valve is required. See Fig. 7.

3.7 If the trap is to be situated in an exposed position, it should be either lagged or drained by

a separate small thermostatic trap such as the Spirax Sarco No.8, or Bydrain.

3.8 Always fit a non-return (check) valve downstream of any steam trap which discharges into

condensate return lines where back pressure is experienced. This is not commonly caused

byarisingcondensate line. The check valve will prevent the steamspaceflooding when the

inlet pressure is reduced or the steam is shut off.

3.9 Ensure adequate space is left to remove the cover from the body for maintenance – the

maximum withdrawal to remove the cover is 200 mm (8").

Note: If the trap is to discharge to atmosphere ensure it is to a safe place, the discharging fluid

may be at a temperature of 100°C (212°F).
