Steam traps
Inverted bucket
Safety information, installation and maintenance
For full details see the Installation and Maintenance Instructions
supplied with the product.
Installation note:
The trap must be installed below the drain point with the body
upright in a vertical position, the cover at the top and the inlet
connection at the bottom; this orientation will ensure that the
bucket mechanism will rise and fall vertically without any friction.
It is recommended that a strainer is installed upstream of the IBV
to protect it from contamination.
To permit safe inspection for cleaning or maintenance purpose it
is again recommended that suitable shut-off valves are installed
upstream and downstream of the IBV application.
It needs to be appreciated that there is blast discharge with this
device, consequently the downstream accessories, if any, should
be installed at a minimum distance of 1 m from the IBV.
