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
