Cast Iron Inverted Bucket Steam Trap

Listing ID #147139

Avail from us cast iron inverted bucket steam trap which is a horizontal type bucket trap. The cast iron inverted bucket steam trap consists of side inlet and outlet, heavy-duty cast iron body and stainless steel bucket. Easy in-line inspection and maintenance, unique linkage system and hardened stainless steel valve and seat are also fitted with the trap. ideal for

• general steam service
• process, heating, and drip leg services with pressures to 250 psig (17, 2 bar).

• 1/2" through 2-1/2"

• the inverted bucket steam traps uses the difference between the density of gas and liquid
• the bucket is inundated, once the trap has been primed after setting up
• as the steam enters the trap, it gathers in the inverted bucket causing it to become buoyant and rise to close the discharge valve
• when condensate enters the trap, and the steam condenses within the bucket, the weight of the bucket multiplied by the linkages leverage exceeds the differential pressure holding the valve to the seat and the bucket sinks
• this process opens the discharge valve to discharge accumulated air, co2, other non-condensable gases and the condensate
• as the condensate drains and steam enters the trap, the cycle repeats with the bucket filling with steam, rising again to close the discharge valve
