Maintenance
GESTRA steam traps of the type UNA do not require any special maintenance.
However, if the steam trap is to be used in a new installation which has not been flushed yet,
it is advisable to check and – if required – clean the trap.
The UNA steam traps can be checked for steam loss during operation by using the GESTRA ultrasonic
measuring unit VAPOPHONE
®
or TRAPtest
®
.
In case of steam loss, clean the valve and/or replace the control unit or orifice.
