Steam Traps
Clearly, the longer an efficient trap lasts, the more it reduces energy
wasted, fuel burned and pollutants released into the air. Its an
all-around positive situation that lets the environment win, too.
Bringing energy down to earth in your facility could begin with a
renewed focus on your steam system, especially your steam traps.
Said another way: Zeroing in your steam traps is an easy way to
pay less money for energyand more attention to the environment.

The inverted bucket has only two moving partsthe valve lever
assembly and the bucket. That means no fixed points, no complicated
linkages. Nothing to stick, bind or clog.
Purging action
Snap opening of the valve
creates a momentary
pressure drop and turbulence
in the unit drained. This breaks
up films of condensate and air
and speeds their flow to
the trap.
Continuous air
and CO2 venting
Vent in top of bucket provides
continuous automatic air and CO2
venting with no cooling lag or threat
of air binding. Steam passing
through vent is less than that
required to compensate for
radiation losses from the trap
so its not wasted.
Dependable operation
Simple, direct operation with
nothing to stick, bind or clog.
Only two moving parts
the valve lever and the bucket.
Excellent operation
against back pressure

Consider the maximum operating pressure first. Enter the chart at the
100 psi line and find the first capacity line above 1,200 lb/hr. This is the 5/32''
orifice in a Model 212, 812 or 882, and it has a capacity of 1,800 lb/hr at
100 psi. Now extend this straight line to the left until it intersects the 40 psi
pressure line. At 40 psi, read a capacity of 1,300 lb/hr. (You could also refer
to the individual capacity charts for Models 212, 812 or 882.) Assuming cast
iron is suitable, this is the desired trap selection to meet the requirements of
opening at the maximum pressure, and also having the needed capacity at
the minimum pressure.
This example points out how the capacity is influenced by the trap size.
Example 1 also used the same orifice size, but in a physically smaller trap.
In the larger trap the same diameter orifice not only has a higher capacity,
it will work at higher pressures.
Example 3. Constant condensing rate but high back pressure.
Given:
Inlet pressure . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .100 psi
Normal outlet (back) pressure . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .50 psi
Required capacity = 1,800 lb/hr condensate load
times 3:1 safety factor, or . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .5,400 lb/hr
Traditional method:
Since the differential pressure is only 50 psi, enter the chart at 50 psi and go
up to a capacity of 5,400 lb/hr. This is just under the capacity lines for Models
214 and 814. However, the 5/16'' orifice is the largest orifice that will operate
at 100 psi inlet pressure. (Remember that the back pressure may not always
be there!) Extend the capacity line for the 5/16'' orifice to the left, and read a
capacity of 4,800 lb/hr at 50 psi. Since this is too low, go up to the 215/815
capacity lines and repeat the process. The selection will end up being a
Model 215 or 815 with a 3/8'' orifice*.
About this chart ...
The Armstrong capacity chart shows continuous discharge capacities of
Armstrong traps under actual operating conditions, as determined by many
hundreds of tests made over the years. In these tests, hot condensate was
used, at or near the steam temperature corresponding to the test pressure.
The choking effect of flash steam in the orifice and the back pressure created
by this flash steam were therefore automatically taken into account. The test
setups were similar to an actual installation hookup, so that pipe friction in
both inlet and discharge lines was reflected in the results.
* This method is conservative. While it will always select a workable trap, it may select
a larger trap than necessary. Consult Armstrong Application Engineering for further
information about the effects of back pressure.

Description
Connections
Materials
A unique leverage system multiplies the force provided by the bucket to open
the valve against system pressure. The mechanism is free-floating, and has
no fixed pivots to create wear or friction.
Body:
Internals:
Valve and seat:
Test plug:
Options
Stainless steel internal check valve
Thermic vent bucket
Scrub wire
Because the mechanism is located at the top of the trap, no dirt can collect
on the orifice. Small particles of dirt are held in suspension until discharged
by the full differential purging action when the bucket sinks, pulling the valve
off the seat.
Specification
The discharge orifice is surrounded by a water seal, preventing live steam
loss. Automatic air venting is provided by a small vent hole in the bucket, which
provides continuous automatic air and CO2 venting at steam temperature.
Inverted bucket steam trap, type ... in cast iron, with continuous air venting
at steam temperature, free floating stainless steel mechanism, and discharge
orifice at the top of the trap.

Description
Connections
A unique leverage system multiplies the force provided by the bucket to open
the valve against system pressure. The mechanism is free-floating, and has
no fixed pivots to create wear or friction.
Because the mechanism is located at the top of the trap, no dirt can collect
on the orifice. Small particles of dirt are held in suspension until discharged
by the full differential purging action when the bucket sinks, pulling the valve
off the seat.
The discharge orifice is surrounded by a water seal, preventing live steam
loss. Automatic air venting is provided by a small vent hole in the bucket, which
provides continuous automatic air and CO2 venting at steam temperature.
Inverted bucket traps drain continuously, although discharging intermittently,
allowing no condensate backup. They are also resistant to water hammer.

Description
Connections
Armstrong Model 411G vertical installation and Model 421 horizontal installation
offer smaller capacities at higher pressures.
A unique leverage system multiplies the force provided by the bucket to open
the valve against system pressure. The mechanism is free-floating and has
no fixed pivots to create wear or friction.
Because the mechanism is located at the top of the trap, no dirt can collect
on the orifice. Small particles of dirt are held in suspension until discharged
by the full differential purging action when the bucket sinks, pulling the valve
off the seat.
The discharge orifice is surrounded by a water seal, preventing live steam
loss. Automatic air venting is provided by a small vent hole in the bucket.
Inverted bucket traps drain continuously to prevent condensate backup.
They are also resistant to water hammer.
Model 421 adds the convenience and savings of in-line repairability and is
designed to meet todays energy-management requirements efficiently and
economically over a long, trouble-free service life.

Description
Materials
Armstrong offers its 400 Series forged chrome-moly steel traps for vertical
installation with a choice of screwed, socketweld or flanged connections.
Body:
A unique leverage system multiplies the force provided by the bucket to open
the valve against system pressure. The mechanism is free-floating and has
no fixed pivots to create wear or friction.
Internals:
Valve and seat:
Because the mechanism is located at the top of the trap, no dirt can collect
on the orifice. Small particles of dirt are held in suspension until discharged
by the full differential purging action when the bucket sinks, pulling the valve
off the seat.
Options
Inverted bucket steam trap, type ... in forged chrome-moly steel, with continuous
air venting at steam temperature, free-floating stainless steel mechanism, with
the discharge orifice at the top of the trap.

A
Trap Selection. The pressure-containing parts of the steam trap should safely
withstand the maximum pressure and temperature conditions of the system.
For example, a trap is required for a 900 psig (62 bar) main at 900F (482C).
The normal operating temperature of the trap will be about 532F (278C).
A Model 415 trap should be selected, even though several smaller traps are
capable of handling the working pressure.

As the level of condensate in the accumulation chamber falls, the cup sealing
the steam feed tube moves downward,
opening a passage for steam to flow
into trap chamber.
Trap Closed
As steam begins to flow through
the accumulation chamber and up
the steam feed tube under the inverted
bucket in the trap chamber, the
discharge valve closes tightly.

Description
Armstrong offers its 5000 Series forged chrome-moly steel traps for vertical
installation with a choice of screwed, socketweld or flanged connections.
A unique leverage system multiplies the force provided by the bucket to open
the valve against system pressure. The mechanism is free-floating and has
no fixed pivots to create wear or friction.
Because the mechanism is located at the top of the trap, no dirt can collect
on the orifice. Small particles of dirt are held in suspension until discharged
by the full differential purging action when the bucket sinks, pulling the valve
off the seat.
The discharge orifice is surrounded by a water seal, preventing live steam loss.
Automatic air venting is provided by a small vent hole in the bucket. This provides
continuous automatic air and CO2 venting at steam temperature.
Inverted bucket traps drain continuously, although discharging intermittently,
to prevent condensate backup. They are also resistant to water hammer.
Operation on Superheat. A normally operating bucket trap is filled with
saturated steam and condensate. Superheated steam can enter only as fast
as the steam inside can condense. As a result, the temperature of the trap
is at (or slightly below) saturated steam temperature, regardless of the degree
of superheat.
Trap Selection. The pressure-containing parts of the steam trap should safely
withstand the maximum pressure and temperature conditions of the system.
For example, a trap is required for a 1,000 psig (68 bar) main at 950F
(510C). The normal operating temperature of the trap will be about 546F
(286C). A Model 5133G trap should be selected, even though several smaller
traps are capable of handling the working pressure.
For Superheat Service:
1. Dont oversize the orifice; a restricted orifice may be advisable.
2. Specify a burnished valve and seat and an extended inlet tube and
check valve.
3. Provide a drip leg of adequate diameter and length.
4. Provide a generous length (2'-3') of inlet piping, with the trap below the main.
5. Dont insulate the trap or the inlet piping.

Purging action
Snap opening of the valve creates
a momentary pressure drop and
turbulence in the unit drained.
This breaks up films of condensate
and air and speeds their flow to
the trap.
Dependable operation
Simple, direct operation with
nothing to stick, bind or clog.
Only two moving parts
the valve lever and the bucket.
Excellent operation
against back pressure
Since trap operation is governed by
the difference in density of steam and
water, back pressure in the return line
has no effect on the ability of the trap
to open for condensate and close
against steam.

Description
Connections
Armstrong 1000 Series stainless steel inverted bucket steam traps normally
last three to four times longer than conventional traps used in identical services.
Heat-treated stainless steel valves and seats are of the same design, material
and workmanship as those used in traps for pressures up to 900 psig and
temperatures to 900F. More compact than cast iron or carbon steel equivalents,
1000 Series traps are ideal for trapping applications such as tracer lines,
steam mains and heating/process applications.

Secondary Steam
Description
Connections
When lifting from the drain point, often referred to as syphon drainage, the
reduction in pressure that occurs when the condensate is elevated causes
a portion of it to flash back into steam.
Ordinary steam traps, unable to differentiate between flash steam and live
steam, close and impede drainage. Increased velocity with gravity drainage
will aid in drawing the condensate and air to the DC. This increased velocity is
caused by an internal steam by-pass, controlled by a manual metering valve,
so the condensate controller will automatically vent the by-pass or
secondary steam. This is then directed to the condensate return line or
collected for use in other heat exchangers.

Description

Materials
Body:
Internals:
Valve and seat:
Fittings metering valve:
When lifting from the drain point, often referred to as syphon drainage, the
reduction in pressure that occurs when the condensate is elevated causes
a portion of it to flash back into steam.
Specification
Ordinary steam traps, unable to differentiate between flash steam and live
steam, close and impede drainage. Increased velocity with gravity drainage
will aid in drawing the condensate and air to the DC. This increased velocity
is caused by an internal steam by-pass, controlled by a manual metering
valve, so the condensate controller will automatically vent the by-pass or
secondary steam. This is then directed to the condensate return line or
collected for use in other heat exchangers.

Because of the wide use of vacuum returns in systems of this type, the
thermostatic air vent element is charged to give it the capability of compensated response to the pressure-temperature curve of steam at any pressure
from less than 20'' (500 mm) Hg vacuum to 30 psig (2 bar) gauge. B and BI
Series F&T traps will vent air at slightly below steam temperature throughout
this entire range of operation.
All B Series traps, except the 1/2'' (15 mm) and 3/4'' (20 mm), have inlet
connections on both sides of the body to provide flexibility in piping. The
BI Series F&T traps in sizes 1/2'', 3/4'' and 1'' feature the convenience
of in-line connections with the same internals as the B Series.

Description
How to Order
The simple, yet rugged, cast iron construction of the J & K Series
Ultra-Capacity F&T steam traps offers long, trouble-free service. All floats,
valves and seats, and lever mechanisms are constructed of stainless steel.
The integral thermostatic air vent is a balanced-pressure phosphor bronze
bellows caged in stainless steel. It is designed especially for heavy-duty
industrial applications where highly efficient, uninterrupted service is essential.
This balanced-pressure-type air vent will respond to the pressure-temperature
curve of steam at any pressure from zero to 175 psig (12 bar). Thusup to
175 psig (12 bar)air is vented at slightly below steam temperature.

Special Configurations
Condensate controller with flash release for syphon drainage and/or
cascade service. The condensate controller (CC) configuration was developed
especially to meet very large capacity needs in applications where condensate
must be lifted from the drain point to the trap. Under such conditionsoften
referred to as syphon drainagethe reduction in pressure that occurs when
the condensate is elevated causes a portion of the condensate to flash into
steam. Ordinary traps, unable to differentiate between flash steam and live
steam, close and impede drainage.
The J & K Series condensate controllers (CC) are equipped with a fixed,
restricted orifice near the top of the body to bleed off the flash steam (and
all air present). This permits the trap to function properly on condensate.

The simple yet rugged cast iron construction of the L & M Series Ultra-Capacity
F&T steam traps offers long, trouble-free service. All floats, valves and seats,
and lever mechanisms are constructed of stainless steel.
The integral thermostatic air vent is a balanced-pressure phosphor bronze
bellows caged in stainless steel. It is designed especially for heavy-duty
industrial applications where highly efficient, uninterrupted service is essential.
This balanced pressure type air vent will respond to the pressure-temperature
curve of steam at any pressure from zero to 250 psig (17 bar). Thusup to
250 psig (17 bar)air is vented at slightly below steam temperature.

Installation Notes
Under conditions where the load may approach the maximum capacity of
the trap, it is recommended that the size of the discharge line be increased
one size as close to the trap cap as is practical. When L and M Series units
are used in severe service conditions or at pressures exceeding 30 psig,
use an anchoring bracket or other supportive measures to minimize stress
on piping.
Ultra-Capacity L and M Series units MUST BE WARMED UP in the proper
sequence and gradually. Recommended warm-up ratenot to exceed
100F/8 minutes.
See your Armstrong Representative.

Special Configurations
Condensate controller with flash release for syphon drainage and/or
cascade service. The condensate controller (CC) configuration was developed
especially to meet very large capacity needs in applications where condensate
must be lifted from the drain point to the trap. Under such conditionsoften
referred to as syphon drainagethe reduction in pressure that occurs when
condensate is elevated causes a portion of the condensate to flash into
steam. Ordinary traps, unable to differentiate between flash steam and live
steam, close and impede drainage.
The LS & MS Series condensate controllers (CC) are equipped with a fixed,
restricted orifice near the top of the body to bleed off the flash steam (and
all air present). This permits the trap to function properly on condensate.
Liquid drainer with back vent for exceptionally high capacity drainage of
liquid from gas under pressure. The liquid drainer (LD) configuration was
developed to meet very large capacity needs in draining water and other liquids
from air or other gases under pressure. To prevent air or gas binding, the

Dual sealing action
The piston valve is a seatless valve that includes two graphite and

as a valve seat. This combination provides long-term protection
against leaks to the atmosphere and downstream piping.
Self-cleaning action
Stainless steel piston slides without rotating between the two
valve sealing rings, preventing dirt from damaging the sealing
surfaces.
Sealing integrity
Flexible disc springs automatically provide leak tightness by exerting
pressure which keeps the upper and lower valve sealing rings compressed at all times. Sealing tightness is assured by the compression

*NOTE: Because the orifice is located at the top, inverted bucket steam traps
handle dirt and scale better than other types of traps. However, in applications
where extremely dirty conditions exist, care should be exercised in the use of
all types of restricted-orifice, reduced-capacity traps.
Options
Insu-Pak
Now you can insulate the in-line traps in
your plant without complicating regular
trap maintenance. Insu-Pak, a simple
reusable insulation package, cuts the
time and cost of in-field installation
because it goes on in a snap. And it
comes off just as easily. The Insu-Pak
can prevent trap freeze-up when used
with a properly designed condensate
manifold. Designed for use with Model
2010 and Model 2011 traps.

Consider this example: A 1/8" (3.2 mm) orifice leaking 45 lb (20.4 kg)
of steam per hour at 100 psi (6.9 bar) will squander $2,102 worth
of energy in one year, assuming a steam cost of $5.00/1,000 lb
(450 kg). Numbers like these make it easy to see the importance
of reliable trap monitoring.
Most experts agree that testing steam traps with test valves is the
most reliable of available methods because it permits you to check
trap discharge visually. With test valves you can see evidence of
trap failure that is difficult to detect with other test methods. And
the quicker you see what you may be missing now, the quicker
you can begin saving the precious energy failed traps waste.
Simplification. Thats the greatest contribution of the TVS to
routine trap testing. Installation is simpler. Maintenance is simpler.
And regular testing is simpler.

The CD-33 is designed with three discharge ports, which offer stable
disc operation to extend trap operating life. The capacities of the
Armstrong CD-33 have been engineered specifically for the following
applications: large steam main drips, process equipment, and HVAC
heating equipment on constant pressure. The CD-33L (low capacity)
trap is designed for the low capacity applications of steam main drips
and steam tracing lines. By ensuring that the capacities are designed
to suit the application, and are not oversized, the CD-33 Series will
last longer than other disc traps with excessive capacity ratings.

Description
Armstrong CD-40 and CD-60 Series controlled disc traps contain a replaceable
capsule, making it possible to renew a worn trap by simply replacing the capsule.
A heating chamber in the shell ensures consistent operation. This steam jacket
provides a relatively constant temperature in the control chamber regardless
of ambient conditions. Cycling rate is controlled and does not increase when
the trap is exposed to cold winds, rain or snow. CD-40 Series traps are also
available with optional integral .045 perforated stainless steel strainer screens.
CD-60 Series traps contain integral strainers with ratios of open area to inside
area of pipe that equal or exceed those of most separate Y type strainers.

design and internal strainer screen two to three times larger than that of
other thermostatic traps in a sealed stainless steel body. Choice of NPT
or BSPT screwed connections.
L A
The WT-2000 does not have an internal strainer, but is equipped with a special
360 connector to expand piping options and simplify installation. Choice of
NPT or BSPT screwed connections, or socketweld connections. Also available
with optional IS-2 stainless steel connector with integral strainer.
Armstrongs WT-3 is a carbon steel thermostatic wafer trap for superheated
drip service. It features an exclusive non-welded wafer design, which eliminates
problems associated with weld stress. The WT-3 has no thin-walled enclosures
such as bellows or welded diaphragms. It is also resistant to water hammer.
Choice of NPT or BSPT screwed connections, or socketweld connections.
NOTE: Since the normal operation of all suppressed temperature-discharge
(subcooling) steam traps is to back up condensate, they should not be
used on drip legs for saturated steam service, heating or process equipment.
Exercise care in the maintenance of any thermostatic wafer trap with a small
discharge area susceptible to clogging.

Description
The thermostatic wafer steam trap, the Series MT-2, is sized precisely to handle
the extremely low condensate load found in most instrument steam tracer
lines. The MT thermostatic wafer traps are designed to last longer than other
oversized, all-purpose thermostatic and thermodynamic steam traps.
A water seal prevents loss of steam through the orifice of the MT Series.

At start-up the valve is wide open, which allows a large volume of noncondensables and cold condensate to be removed from the system. When
the system reaches steam temperature, the elements become sufficiently
hot to pull on the traps valve stem, closing the valve.

The valve remains closed until the bimetallic elements cool, thus allowing
the valve to crack open, vent the condensate and non-condensables, and
then close again when steam temperature is reached.
The SH Series superheat steam traps adjust automatically to changing conditions.
Hot elements in the valve generate forces to offset rises in pressure.

For Pressures to 300 psig (20 bar)...Capacities to 3,450 lb/hr (1,568 kg/hr)
Description
The balanced pressure bellows thermostatic steam trap has a sealed,
stainless-steel body that is lightweight, compact and highly resistant to
corrosion. The cage, bellows, valve and seat are all assembled into a precisely
calibrated operating unit that ensures positive opening and closing action at
slightly below steam temperature. The unique, stainless-steel construction
is smaller and much lighter than comparable cast iron, brass or steel traps.
TTF-1 is available with straight-thru or right angle connections. TT-2000 with
the 360 universal stainless steel connector comes with either a standard
connector or the IS-2 connector with integral strainer.
NOTE: Also can be used as a thermostatic air vent (Reference TTF Series
Thermostatic Air Vents page AV-15).

People who have used it over the past 90 years can testify
that leakage to atmosphere is extremely rare, even without
any maintenance. The elastic contact between piston and
valve sealing rings provides a perfect tightness, both in-line

*NOTE: Because the orifice is located at the top, inverted bucket steam traps
handle dirt and scale better than other types of traps. However, in applications
where extremely dirty conditions exist, care should be exercised in the use of
all types of restricted-orifice, reduced-capacity traps.
Options
Insu-Pak
Now you can insulate the in-line traps in
your plant without complicating regular
trap maintenance. Insu-Pak, a simple
reusable insulation package, cuts the
time and cost of in-field installation
because it goes on in a snap. And it
comes off just as easily. The Insu-Pak
can prevent trap freeze-up when used
with a properly designed condensate
manifold. Designed for use with Model
2010 and Model 2011 traps.

Internal Check Valves1/2'' (15 mm) Thru 2'' (50 mm) NPT
Almost all Armstrong inverted bucket steam traps can be equipped with internal
check valves. A check valve is needed between the trap and the equipment
being drained in the following cases:
When the trap is installed above the unit drained
When sudden pressure drops may occur in the steam supply to the unit
Whenever a back pressure exists in the condensate return line

Its like having a man sitting there watching traps all day. Thats
how a maintenance supervisor at an installation summed up the
benefits of SteamEye.
But exactly how does SteamEye do what it does? And how does it
use radio waves to signal a real beginning in steam system optimization?
What is radio frequency (RF) steam trap monitoring anyway?
Radio frequency monitoring of steam traps gives you an
instantaneous insight into trap performance that is the most
accurate measure of steam trap status available. The system
consists of a transmitter that is threaded into an inverted bucket
or F&T* steam trap, a repeater (if necessary), a receiver and a
personal computer. Building automation system integration is also
an option. Consult your Armstrong Representative or Armstrongs
Application Engineering Department.
Whoever first observed Little things mean a lot perhaps had failed
steam traps in mind. Show us a steam trap blowing through (losing
steam), and well show you potential for huge savings in the dollars
you spend for energy to generate steam in the first place. Besides,
less energy consumed means less waste, fewer emissions and a
healthier environment.
As you see from the table below, a little steam leak can truly be
the start of something big. A single trap with an 1/8-inch orifice can
squander more than $4,000 per year. Multiply that by the number
of traps represented in a typical 20% failure rate, and you begin to
get the idea. Failed steam traps waste energy and cost you money.
Big money. But that was then. Now theres SteamEye.
*NOTE: Transmitters can be installed on all float & thermostatic traps with a bottom
drain connection and Armstrong inverted bucket steam traps with probe connections.
Float & thermostatic transmitter will detect temperature only, not blow-thru.

Lets say you have a trap population of 500. If you accept 20% as a
typical failure rate, you have 100 bad traps. Lets also assume that
you can check 100 traps per day. But which 100 are bad? Without
SteamEye, you simply dont know. That means you have to test all
500and invest five days to accomplish a task you know should
require only one day. The net loss in man-hours and maintenance
dollars: five full days.
That was without SteamEye. With it, you will know instantly which
traps have failed. So you wont have to waste time and money
sending manpower out to test working traps. Whats more, no one
has to be at the trap to test it. That improves safety and efficiency.
Since SteamEye notifies you of failed traps as they fail, youll have
no backlog of trap repairs/replacements. Net gain in man-hours to
repair/replace traps and do other maintenance activities: five full days.
If traps could talk, think of the stories they could tell you about energy
waste and misplaced maintenance efforts. With SteamEye, traps can
talk. Ask your Armstrong Representative what theyre saying about:

Lets face it: At any given time a percentage of your traps have failed
and you just dont have the manpower to check them frequently.
Besides, the trap you check on Tuesday afternoon may fail Wednesday
morningand not be scheduled for a recheck for months, even years.
You just have to put up with a certain percentage of failure, right?
Wrong. Not any more. Thats precisely the point of SteamEye.

Mobile Receiver
In locations where a dedicated personal computer is not practical,
a mobile receiver can be used to monitor the SteamEye transmitters.
The unit can be powered by 110 volts AC or a battery. Battery powered,
the unit can monitor for 12 hours on a single charge and be carried from
place to place while monitoring the SteamEye transmitters. Plugged
into 110 volts AC, the unit will recharge the battery (if a battery is
used) and/or monitor the SteamEye transmitters indefinitely.
Data on up to 400 SteamEye transmitters can be loaded onto the
mobile receivers integral computer. When placed in an area to
monitor SteamEye transmitters, the unit can show real-time steam
trap conditions. Using the software and cable provided, a snapshot
of the steam trap condition data can be loaded onto a personal
computer for viewing and reporting purposes. Instant notification
of a trap failure can be achieved by wiring an alarm to an internal
contactor on the unit.

Options
SteamEye transmitters
are available for float &
thermostatic traps with a
bottom drain connection.
The transmitter will detect
temperature only, not blow-thru.
Pressure Switch
The pressure switch is for use with RFM3300 transmitters.
The switch allows the unit to determine whether steam is
turned on (pressure) or off (no pressure) to the system.
All dimensions and weights are approximate. Use certified print for exact dimensions. Design and materials are subject to change without notice.

For maximum protection against freezing and water hammer in heating coils
under modulated control, for example, vacuum breakers are recommended
in conjunction with freeze protection devices.

Dirt Problems
3/8''
Whenever dirt plugs the bucket vent, Armstrong recommends the use of
a scrubbing wire which, on each cycle, keeps the bucket vent hole open.
NOTE: On small size stainless-steel (only) bucket traps, a wiggle wire is
installed as standard.
In normal conditions, the inverted bucket trap is not sensitive to dirt problems
(because of its orifice at the top of the trap), unlike most other traps, which
should be installed normally with a strainer (see Armstrong Y Type Strainers
page S-16).
Probe Connections are available for trap monitoring on most inverted bucket
traps. Consult your Armstrong Factory Representative.
Connectors
Besides 2000 Series stainless steel inverted bucket traps, the standard
connector or IS-2 connector with integral strainer can also be used on
TT-2000 thermostatic, WT-2000 thermostatic wafer and CD-3300 disc traps.

TrapAlert

TA4200 TrapAlert
Model TA4200 is ideal for traps isolated high above the floor,
under equipment or otherwise out of reach. The TA4200 TrapAlert
makes testing a trap as easy as turning on a flashlight. The beam
of a flashlight on TrapAlerts photodetector energizes TrapAlerts
five-year lithium battery, which powers small indicator lights.
Any flashlight will work close up, but for longer distanceseven
up to 50 feet (15 meters)use a focusable high intensity model.
When a flashlight beam strikes the photodetector of the TA4200,
the monitor responds instantly with one or more colored lights,
indicating different trap conditions. A green light is a good or go
condition. Yellow means a cold trap. And a red light signals loss
of prime or blow-thru.
Flexible mounts on lights and photodetector permit angling them
away from building lights. They can be adjusted down for a high
trap location or up for a low trap.
