Install Instructions

SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
The Spirotrap does not normally require maintenance and includes no moving parts other than the
manual ball valve or optional user-installed automatic valve.
The Spirotrap Dirt and Drain Models are designed for dirt and sediment separation. The ball valve
on the bottom of the unit should be opened on a regular basis to purge debris from the collection
chamber. A container should be used to catch any debris.
WARNING! Water Temperatures above 100°F can be very hazardous. Keep
body away from connection while open. Failure to follow these instructions may cause
serious bodily injury or property damage.
Frequency of purging is system dependent based upon degree of sediment in the system.
Frequent purging is recommended right after installation and then scheduled as needed as the
systems clears.
Units with optional removable head can be disassembled and the tube bundle removed for
inspection or cleaning. The removable head is a user-specified feature and frequency of
inspection and/or cleaning is user or system dependent.
WARNING! System fluid under pressure can be very hazardous. Before removing
the unit head, reduce system pressure to zero, or isolate the Spirotrap from the
system. Allow the system to cool to below 100°F. Failure to follow these instructions
may cause serious bodily injury or property damage.
WARNING! Unit head and bundle are heavy. Keep body clear of the head and
bundle when disassembling. Failure to follow these instructions may cause serious
bodily injury or property damage.
1. Taking care to support the head, remove bolts and slide the bundle out. Clean the bundle using
a pressure washer or hose and reinstall the bundle in the Spirotrap unit. Be sure to check the
gasket before reinstalling the head, and replace if necessary. Tighten bolts using a criss-cross
pattern to proper torque. Before opening isolation valves, close ball valve.
