Installation and Maintenance

The TD32F is designed for installation with the disc in a horizontal plane with the cover at the top.

  • It is recommended that a non-return valve is fitted when discharging condensate into return lines where backpressure is experienced.
  • It is also recommended that a diffuser is fitted when discharging to atmosphere.
  • For ease of maintenance, fit isolation valves upstream and downstream of the steam trap.
  • For full details see the Installation and Maintenance Instructions (IM-P068-26) supplied with the product.
