Product is safe for use under full vacuum conditions Designed for a maximum cold hydraulic test pressure:

60 bar g 870 psi g

Note: With internals fitted, test pressure must not exceed:

48 bar g 696 psi g

Caution: The trap in its complete operational form must not be subjected to a pressure greater than 48 bar (696 psi) otherwise damage to the internal mechanism may result.
