1. Safety information Safe operation of these products can only be guaranteed if they are properly installed, commissioned, used and maintained by qualified personnel (see Section 1.11) 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. 1.1 Intended use Referring to the Installation and Maintenance Instructions, name-plate and Technical Information Sheet, check that the product is suitable for the intended use/application. The products listed below comply with the requirements of the European Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC and carry the mark when so required. The products fall within the following Pressure Equipment Directive categories: Product Group 2 Gases Group 2 Liquids FT53, IFT53 DN40 - DN50 SEP SEP FT54, FT57, IFT54 and IFT57 DN15 - DN25 SEP SEP DN40 - DN50 1 SEP i) These products have been specifically designed for use on steam, air or condensate / water, which is in Group 2 of the above mentioned Pressure Equipment Directive. The products use on other fluids may be possible but, if this is contemplated, Spirax Sarco should be contacted to confirm the suitability of the product for the application being considered. ii) Check material suitability, pressure and temperature and their maximum and minimum values. If the maximum operating limits of the product are lower than those of the system in which it is being fitted, or if malfunction of the product could result in a dangerous overpressure or overtemperature occurrence, ensure a safety device is included in the system to prevent such over-limit situations. iii) Determine the correct installation situation and direction of fluid flow. iv) Spirax Sarco products are not intended to withstand external stresses that may be induced by any system to which they are fitted. It is the responsibility of the installer to consider these stresses and take adequate precautions to minimise them. v) Remove protection covers from all connections and protective film from all nameplates, where appropriate, before installation on steam or other high temperature applications. 1.2 Access Ensure safe access and if necessary a safe working platform (suitably guarded) before attempting to work on the product. Arrange suitable lifting gear if required. 1.3 Lighting Ensure adequate lighting, particularly where detailed or intricate work is required. 1.4 Hazardous liquids or gases in the pipeline Consider what is in the pipeline or what may have been in the pipeline at some previous time. Consider: flammable materials, substances hazardous to health, extremes of temperature. IM-P603-03 ST Issue 6 3

1.5 Hazardous environment around the product Consider: explosion risk areas, lack of oxygen (e.g. tanks, pits), dangerous gases, extremes of temperature, hot surfaces, fire hazard (e.g. during welding), excessive noise, moving machinery. 1.6 The system Consider the effect on the complete system of the work proposed. Will any proposed action (e.g. closing isolation valves, electrical isolation) put any other part of the system or any personnel at risk? Dangers might include isolation of vents or protective devices or the rendering ineffective of controls or alarms. Ensure isolation valves are turned on and off in a gradual way to avoid system shocks. 1.7 Pressure systems Ensure that any pressure is isolated and safely vented to atmospheric pressure. Consider double isolation (double block and bleed) and the locking or labelling of closed valves. Do not assume that the system has depressurised even when the pressure gauge indicates zero. 1.8 Temperature Allow time for temperature to normalise after isolation to avoid danger of burns. 1.9 Tools and consumables Before starting work ensure that you have suitable tools and / or consumables available. Use only genuine Spirax Sarco replacement parts. 1.10 Protective clothing Consider whether you and / or others in the vicinity require any protective clothing to protect against the hazards of, for example, chemicals, high / low temperature, radiation, noise, falling objects, and dangers to eyes and face. 1.11 Permits to work All work must be carried out or be supervised by a suitably competent person. Installation and operating personnel should be trained in the correct use of the product according to the Installation and Maintenance Instructions. Where a formal 'permit to work' system is in force it must be complied with. Where there is no such system, it is recommended that a responsible person should know what work is going on and, where necessary, arrange to have an assistant whose primary responsibility is safety. Post 'warning notices' if necessary. 1.12 Handling Manual handling of large and / or heavy products may present a risk of injury. Lifting, pushing, pulling, carrying or supporting a load by bodily force can cause injury particularly to the back. You are advised to assess the risks taking into account the task, the individual, the load and the working environment and use the appropriate handling method depending on the circumstances of the work being done. 4 IM-P603-03 ST Issue 6

1.13 Residual hazards In normal use the external surface of the product may be very hot. If used at the maximum permitted operating conditions the surface temperature of some products may reach temperatures of 400 C (752 F). Many products are not self-draining. Take due care when dismantling or removing the product from an installation (refer to 'Maintenance instructions'). 1.14 Freezing Provision must be made to protect products which are not self-draining against frost damage in environments where they may be exposed to temperatures below freezing point. 1.15 Disposal Unless otherwise stated in the Installation and Maintenance Instructions, this product is recyclable and no ecological hazard is anticipated with its disposal providing due care is taken. 1.16 Returning products Customers and stockists are reminded that under EC Health, Safety and Environment Law, when returning products to Spirax Sarco they must provide information on any hazards and the precautions to be taken due to contamination residues or mechanical damage which may present a health, safety or environmental risk. This information must be provided in writing including Health and Safety data sheets relating to any substances identified as hazardous or potentially hazardous. 1.17 Working safely with cast iron products on steam Cast iron products are commonly found on steam and condensate systems. If installed correctly using good steam engineering practices, it is perfectly safe. However, because of its mechanical properties, it is less forgiving compared to other materials such as SG iron or carbon steel. The following are the good engineering practices required to prevent waterhammer and ensure safe working conditions on a steam system. Safe Handling Cast Iron is a brittle material. If the product is dropped during installation and there is any risk of damage the product should not be used unless it is fully inspected and pressure tested by the manufacturer.

IM-P603-03 ST Issue 6 15

3. Installation Note: Before actioning any installation observe the 'Safety information' in Section1. The trap is designed for installation in horizontal (H) or vertical (V) pipework with the float arm in a horizontal plane so that the float rises and falls vertically, ideally with a drop leg immediately preceding the trap. A direction of flow arrow is clearly marked on the body. Note: When installed, ensure the cover markings 'TOP' and the arrow is in the upright position. Suitable isolation valves must be installed to allow for safe maintenance/replacement. Remove all protective caps prior to installation. Open isolation valves slowly and check for leaks. Where steam traps are fitted in exposed conditions, the possibility of freezing damage may be reduced by thermal insulation/draining/isolation. 4. Commissioning After installation or maintenance ensure that the system is fully functioning. Carry out tests on any alarms or protective devices. 16 IM-P603-03 ST Issue 6

5. Operation 5.1 Steam trap The float trap is a continuous discharge trap, removing condensate the instant it forms. On start-up, the thermostatic air vent allows air to bypass the main valve preventing the system air binding. Hot condensate will close the air vent tightly, but as soon as it enters the main chamber of the trap, the float rises and the lever mechanism attached to it opens the main valve, keeping the system drained of condensate at all times. When steam arrives, the float drops and closes the main valve. Float traps are renown for their high start-up load handling capability, clean tight shut-off and resistance to waterhammer and vibration. 5.2 Steam trap with integral sensor As condensate flows through the trap the sensor will always be submerged in condensate. When the trap is connected to a hand held indicator or an automatic trap monitor the circuit is complete and displays a green light. If the trap fails open, the condensate level drops within the trap exposing the sensor tip. This breaks the circuit and a red light is displayed on the monitoring equipment indicating a leaking trap. Note: For additional information on the use, benefits and operation of the Spiratec steam system monitoring equipment, please see sales brochure: SB-S34-01. 6. Maintenance Note: Before actioning any maintenance programme 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. 6.1 General information Maintenance can be completed with the trap in the pipeline, once the safety procedures have been observed. It is recommended that new gaskets and spares are used whenever maintenance is undertaken. Ensure that the correct tools and necessary protective equipment are used at all times. When maintenance is complete open isolation valves slowly and check for leaks. IM-P603-03 ST Issue 6 17

6.2 How to fit a new valve and seat assembly DN15, DN20 and DN25: - Remove pin (15) and detach the float mechanism (8) ensuring the valve ball (6) and spring (13) do not fall out. - Unscrew the main valve seat (29) and the support bolt (14), remove the support frame (12). - Ensure the gasket faces are clean and dry. - Fit a new support frame, main valve seat and gasket assembly, and support bolt (14). - Ensure the main valve seat is centralised on the support frame before tightening the support bolt (14) and seat to the recommended torques (see Table 1, page 15). - Fit the float assembly (8) with the valve ball and spring ensuring the conical spring is installed with the largest diameter facing the float. Fit a new pin. Ensure the float assembly moves freely in a vertical plane. DN40 and DN50: - Unscrew the 4 bolts (16) and remove the main valve assembly (5, 10 and 8). - Ensure the gasket faces are clean and dry. - Fit a new gasket (7) and main valve assembly. - Tighten bolts (16) evenly to the recommended tightening torque (see Table 1, page 20). 6.3 How to replace or clean the sensor: - Remove the sensor (28) from the trap. Clean the sensor insulation. If pitting of the insulation occurs, a new sensor should be fitted. Replace new sensor, ensuring the gasket (27) is centralised. Tighten to the recommended tightening torques (see Table 1, page 20). Note: The sensor should be removed periodically to inspect and clean the insulation as a build-up of pipeline residue may affect the function of the sensor. Frequency of inspection will be dictated by condensate quality. If pitting of the insulation occurs, a new sensor should be fitted. 6.4 How to replace the air vent assembly: - Remove the spring clip, capsule, spacer plate and unscrew the seat (26, 25, 24 and 17). - Fit a new gasket (18), seat and frame and tighten to the recommended tightening torque (see Table 1, page 20). - Assemble new spacer plate, capsule and clip. 18 IM-P603-03 ST Issue 6
