Free Float® Air Traps

JA Series/JAH Series/G8

Traps for the removal of condensate from air lines.

In today's world of automation, compressed air is used in many industries including high-precision machinery and instrumentation. After air is compressed it is cooled by an after-cooler or in a receiver tank, where condensate is formed from water droplets in the air.

This condensate also occurs in compressed air distribution piping, leading to rust and fluctuation in high-precision machinery, as well as causing a reduction in product quality.

TLV air traps protect your equipment and products by discharging condensate automatically.

Benefits and Features

Long Service Life
  • The high precision spherical float rotates, allowing its entire surface to function as valve sealing surfaces and thus ensuring long service life.
Continuous Condensate Discharge
  • The float adjusts quickly to changes in condensate flow adjusting the valve seat opening, ensuring continuous rapid discharge without condensate backup.
Rubber Valve Seat for Tight Sealing
  • The standardized rubber valve seat allows for tight sealing with the precision ground float.
Valve Seat Cleaning Mechanism
  • Equipped with an external plunger unit, blockage caused by oils and/or scale can be easily eliminated.(JA Series / JAH Series)

Application Areas

JA Series
  • Discharge of condensate in air lines (end of piping after receiver tanks, after coolers, etc.)
  • Small compressed air lines (JA3D, JA3, JAF3)
  • Medium compressed air lines (JA5, JAF5)
  • Larger compressed air lines (JA7, JA7.2, JAH7.2R, JA7.5, JAH7.5R, JA8, JAH8R)
G8
  • Designed to discharge high viscosity condensate, such as when oil is mixed in with the condensate
