INSTALLATION – TYPE 313
OVERFLOW TRAP
• To determine which 313 Overow Trap you
have locate the part number on the factory
serial number label (See Information Present
on 313 Overow Trap section for location of
important information on overow traps).
Then see 313 Overow Trap Specications
section to determine the performance and
physical characteristics of the overow trap).
• The overow trap must be installed in
vertical pipe with its inlet up as shown on the
installation orientation label (See Information
Present on 313 Overow Trap section for
location of important information on overow
traps).
• Eliminate vibration in piping. 313 Overow
Traps are not suitable in installations where
vibration exists.
• Before installing, be sure the 313 Overow
Trap and piping are clean inside and free
of scale, chips, welding spatter, and foreign
material. Thoroughly blow out or ush pipe
lines.

OPERATION – TYPE 313 OVERFLOW TRAP
• Deaerators,tankswithsteamblankets,producecondensateasthesteamcondenses.The313OverowTrap
traps and relieves this condensate through its internal pilot while keeping the steam blanket from escaping.
Overow can occur if the water entering the tank exceeds its capacity. The 313 Overow Trap relieves the
overow through its internal single seated main stage valve. Buoyancy of the overow trap’s internal oat ball
provides force to actuate the internal pilot operated single seated valve assembly to relieve condensate and
overow to drain. It is normal for condensate to intermittently ash to steam as it is relieved to the drain. Steam
from the steam blanket however should not be continuously exiting the overow trap to the drain.

for the application. Maintain the uid pres-
sure, pressure drop, and temperature within
the limits of the overow trap (See Informa-
tion Present on 313 Overow Trap section for
location of important information on overow
trap and 313 Overow Trap Specications sec-
tion to determine the performance and physi-
cal characteristics of the overow trap).

be kept unblocked. The internal pilot operat-
ed single seated valve assembly must be kept
free of debris, deposits, and dirt. The internal
pilot operated single seated valve assembly
must move freely. The oat ball must not be
come lled with water. The oat lever must
be straight. Factory set-up of the overow
trap is shown on drawing 03130611101.

maintenance periods. Float ball level must be
correct for water to be at correct level in the
oat chamber. A set-up xture may also be
fabricated as shown on drawing 03130614111
to test and set the oat ball level.
