Hello!

I am trying to fix this steam trap.

I worked with Tunstall and got a replacement cartridge.

What the heck do I do with this. I have no idea how this is supposed to replace the cap on the steam trap.

    Some replacement capsules require a new cap, not sure about your situation. The instruction sheet is not helpful ? Does the old capsule unscrew from the cap ? Sometimes the replacement capsule valve strategy is a bit different looking from the original.
