WARNING

Installation, inspection, maintenance, repairs, disassembly, adjustment, and valve opening/closing should be carried out only by trained maintenance personnel.

Configuration

The JH-B series relies on a precise internal structure for stable condensate discharge.

Specifications

Maximum allowable pressure (PMA) and maximum allowable temperature (TMA) are pressure shell design conditions, not operating conditions. To avoid malfunctions, product damage, accidents, or serious injury, ensure the product is installed properly and never used outside its specification range.

Proper Installation and Piping Arrangement

The use of unions is recommended to facilitate the connection and disconnection of screwed models. Careful attention to piping arrangement helps maintain product longevity and performance.

Inspection and Maintenance

Operational inspections should be performed at least twice per year, or as called for by trap operating conditions. Steam trap failure may result in a temperature drop within the connected equipment.

DANGER

NEVER apply direct heat to the float. The float may explode due to increased internal pressure, causing accidents leading to serious injury or property and equipment damage.

Disassembly and Reassembly

When reassembling the cover and outlet cover, use the recommended tightening torques for the nuts as a reference. Ensure they are tightened until the cover and outlet cover gaps are uniform.

For the plug and holder, screw the assembly by hand into the product body while making sure that the gasket remains tightly affixed to the center of the gasket surface. Do not pinch the gasket in the thread recesses before applying final torque.

Operational Check

Regularly verify operation through visual and functional checks. Note that flash steam is often mistaken for live steam leakage during visual inspections; measuring instruments can provide conclusive verification.
