INSTALLATION
Piping to and from the trap should be equal to
trap size or one size larger. Discharge line for
short runs equal to trap size; larger for long
runs. Avoid configurations that would cause
excessive back pressure.
Blow the System Out before installing the trap.
Frequent strainer blowdown or cleaning is
recommended on a new system. Conditions
will dictate frequency of blowdown in normal
operation.

Welding - Socket or seal welding of this
trap body to the piping should be completed
according to applicable codes, standards, and
procedures.
DO NOT make electrical welding connections
to the trap body or any other part of the trap
to prevent internal arcing. Electrical ground
should be made to the pipe and not the trap.
Note: It is not necessary to disassemble the
trap prior to welding, but avoid subjecting the
internals to temperatures higher than 500F.
Valves - Use globe type (Yarway Welbond
®
) for
isolation strainer blow down, or for test (see
Figure No. 1). Bypasses not recommended
except for critical installations. If discharge
is to a multistation or overhead return, put a
swing check valve in discharge line to prevent
backflooding on shutdown. Select a check valve
suitable for the application.
Locate Trap below outlet from equipment
(gravity flow). If trap must be above the drain
provide a "U" or lift fitting at the bottom of the
riser before the trap (water seal). The trap may
be installed in a horizontal or vertical line or at
any angle so long as the discharge is downward
or horizontal.
WARNING
Hot discharge from this product may cause severe
burns. Discharge must be piped away or directed
so that persons in the vicinity are not endangered.
This product must be isolated, vented and cool to
the touch before repairing or inspecting.
