Steam Traps
Its pretty obvious, really. An efficient steam trap wastes less

energy, which means you burn less fuel and reduce emissions.
The results are energy savings and a cleaner, healthier environment.
By helping companies manage energy, Armstrong steam traps
are also helping protect the world we all share.
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.
As a steam trap wears, it loses efficiency and begins to waste energy.

But Armstrong inverted bucket traps last years longer than other
traps. They operate more efficiently longer because the inverted
bucket is the most reliable steam trap operating principle known.
Companies around the world are beginning to realize that rather

than being separate challenges, energy and the environment are
and have always been a single mission. And that quality management
in one area will surely impact the other.
Pay less money for energy

and more attention to the environment.

The Inverted Bucket Steam Trap

Energy Efficient Because Its So Reliable
The inverted bucket is the most reliable steam trap operating principle
known. The heart of its simple design is a unique leverage system
that multiplies the force provided by the bucket to open the valve
against pressure. Since the bucket is open at the bottom, it resists
damage from water hammer, and wear points are heavily reinforced for
long life.
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.
Wear and corrosion resistance
Virtually no steam loss
Free-floating guided lever valve mechanism

is frictionless, and all wear points
are heavily reinforced. All working
parts are stainless steel. Valve and
seat are stainless steel, individually
ground and lapped together
in matched sets.
Steam does not reach the

water-sealed discharge valve.
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
Freedom from dirt problems
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.
Condensate flow under the bottom edge of

the bucket keeps sediment and sludge in
suspension until it is discharged with the
condensate. Valve orifice opens wide and
closes tightly. No buildup of dirt or close
clearances to be affected by scale.
Resistance to damage from water hammer

Open bucket or float will not collapse as a result of water hammer.

Inverted Bucket Steam Trap

Venting of Air and CO2
Armstrong inverted bucket steam traps open and close based on

the difference in density between condensate and steamthe
inverted bucket principle. They open and close gently, minimizing
wear. This simple fact means that inverted buckets are subject to
less wear than some other types of traps.
The Armstrong inverted bucket provides continuous automatic air

and CO2 venting with no cooling lag or threat of air binding.
In fact, as an Armstrong inverted bucket trap wears, its tight seal

actually improves. The ball valve and seat of the Armstrong trap
provide essentially line contactresulting in a tight seal because
the entire closing force is concentrated on one narrow seating ring.
An Armstrong inverted bucket trap continues to operate efficiently
with use. Gradual wear slightly increases the diameter of the seat
and alters the shape and diameter of the ball valve. But, as this occurs,
a tight seal is still preservedthe ball merely seats itself deeper.
Corrosion-Resistant Parts
The stainless steel valve and seat of the Armstrong inverted bucket
steam trap are individually ground and lapped together in matched
sets. All other working parts are wear- and corrosion-resistant
stainless steel.
Armstrong IB Valve Seating/Ball Valve
Line Contact
Single Seat
Operation Against Back Pressure

The Armstrong inverted bucket has excellent performance
against back pressure. It has no adverse effect on inverted bucket
operation other than to reduce its capacity by the low differential.
The bucket simply requires less force to pull the valve open and
cycle the trap.
Steam Trapping and

Conserves Energy Even in the Presence of Wear
Freedom From Dirt Problems

Armstrong designed its inverted bucket to be virtually free of dirt
problems. The valve and seat are at the top of the trap, far away
from the larger particles of dirt, which fall to the bottom. Here the
up-and-down action of the bucket pulverizes them. Since the valve
of an inverted bucket is either fully closed or open, dirt particles
pass freely. And the swift flow of condensate from under the
buckets edge creates a unique self-scrubbing action that
sweeps dirt out of the trap.
IB Valve Wear Characteristics
Infinite Number of Center Lines and

Seating Circumferences
Armstrong IB ball valve continues to seat itself deeper, providing a tight

seal even in the presence of wear.

How to Use the IB Trap Summary Capacity Chart

This catalog should be utilized as a guide for the installation and operation of
steam trapping equipment by experienced personnel. Selection or installation
should always be accompanied by competent technical assistance or advice.
Armstrong and its local representatives are available for consultation and
technical assistance. We encourage you to contact your Armstrong
Representative for complete details.
The summary capacity chart plots actual trap capacity vs. inlet pressure on
a log-log grid. The trap capacities become straight lines on this grid. The
small numbers along the pressure axis identify the subdivisions; for example,
between the large 10 and 100, the numbers 2, 3, 5, and 7 represent 20, 30,
50 and 70 psi.
The summary chart combines many trap families into one chart by
presenting only a portion of the capacity line for each orifice size.
For charts that give capacity over a wide range of pressures, see the
specific trap model pages.
Individual capacity charts for various traps are given throughout this catalog.
Those charts show capacity lines for each orifice, with pressures usually from
1 psi up to the maximum rated pressure of that orifice.
To select an inverted bucket steam trap using the summary capacity chart,
you must know the condensate load, safety factor, inlet pressure and outlet
pressure. Remember, the object is to select a trap that can 1) operate at the
maximum inlet pressure, and 2) handle the capacity at the minimum differential pressure. Consider the following typical problems.
Example 1. Constant pressure, condensing rate.
Given:
Maximum inlet pressure . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .70 psi
Normal operating differential pressure . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .60 psi
Required capacity = 300 lb/hr condensate load
times 3:1 safety factor, or . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .900 lb/hr
Enter the chart at the 60 psi line and go up to 900 lb/hr capacity. This is
directly on the 5/32'' orifice line for models 211, 811 and 881 (and other
traps). Now follow this line to the right, to the vertical drop at 70 psi. This
means the orifice will work, in these traps, up to a maximum differential of
70 psi. Assuming a cast iron trap is suitable, the 5/32'' orifice in a Model 211,
811 or 881 trap will meet all the operating requirements.
Example 2. Constant condensing rate but with possible reduced
inlet pressure.
Given:
Maximum inlet pressure . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .100 psi
Minimum inlet pressure . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .40 psi
Required capacity = 400 lb/hr condensate load
times 3:1 safety factor, or . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1,200 lb/hr
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.

200 Series Inverted Bucket Steam Traps

Cast Iron for Vertical Installation
Steam Trapping and
For Pressures to 250 psig (17 bar)...Capacities to 20,000 lb/hr (9,072 kg/hr)
Description
Connections
The most reliable steam trap knownthe inverted bucketprovides efficient

condensate drainage of virtually all types of steam-using equipment. Put the
inverted bucket to work in a tough cast iron package, and you have the best
of both worlds. Because they operate efficiently for longer periods of time,
Armstrong cast iron inverted buckets add solid energy savings to lower
replacement/labor costs.
Screwed NPT and BSPT
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.

Internals:
Valve and seat:
Test plug:
ASTM A48 Class 30

All stainless steel304
Hardened chrome steel440F
Carbon steel
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.
Inverted bucket traps drain continuously, although discharging intermittently,

allowing no 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.
Specification

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.

Description
Materials
Armstrongs 401-SH/501-SH Series inverted bucket steam trap line is

made for overcoming the difficult combination of superheat and high
pressure/low load service.
Body:
To survive this most severe steam service, Armstrong created an inverted

bucket trap with a unique accumulation chamber. The chamber collects
sufficient condensate to ensure full discharge cycles. A cup in the chamber
floats up and down on the steam inlet tube, sealing it off as the condensate
level rises. At the same time as the chamber collects condensate, steam
continues to flow under the bucket, making sure that the discharge valve
closes tightly until the condensate rises into the trap body and the bucket
falls down. The operation is on/off, no throttling or dribbling.
Furthermore, it combines all the advantages of an inverted bucket steam trap:
High resistance to wear, corrosion and water hammer with no gaskets.
A unique leverage system multiplies the force provided by the bucket,
to open the valve against system pressure.
The mechanism is located at the top. No dirt can collect on the orifice.
Small particles of dirt will be held in suspension until discharged by the full
differential purging action.
loss. Automatic air venting is provided by a small hole in the bucket.
Inverted bucket traps require no adjustment. They do not allow condensate
backup and are resistant to water hammer.

What little condensate there is on superheat and high pressure/low load

service usually forms in drip legs and in the traps themselves. Therefore
proper piping and drip legs of adequate size and diameter are essential

CyclingDischarge Valve Wide Open

With the steam feed tube to the trap chamber
sealed, condensate flows through the
condensate feed tube (from accumulation
chamber) into the trap chamber. This
sinks the inverted bucket, which opens
the discharge valve, cycling the trap.
Cycle Ending
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.
Cycle About to Repeat

As the level of condensate rises in the
accumulation chamber, the cup floats
up until it again seals the steam feed
tube, and the cycle repeats.

2000 Series Stainless Steel Traps

The Armstrong stainless steel trapsSeries 1000, Series U-1000,
Series 1800 and Series 2000have high resistance to damage from
freeze-ups. They also offer high resistance to wear and corrosion for
longer service reliability, and they provide continuous air venting.
Wear and corrosion resistance

Free-floating guided lever valve mechanism is
frictionless, and all wear points are heavily
reinforced. All working parts are stainless steel.
Valve and seat are stainless steel, individually
ground and lapped together in matched sets.
Armstrong stainless steel traps provide maximum ease and economy

of installation, inspection or replacement. Whats more, an Armstrong
stainless steel trap is the ideal solution for trapping applications such
as tracer lines, steam mains, and heating and processing applications.
360 universal 304 stainless steel connector

Provides quick, easy in-line renewability along with all the proven advantages
of an inverted bucket operation. Also available with optional IS-2
integral strainer connector with 20 x 20 mesh stainless steel strainer.
Virtually no steam loss

Steam does not reach the
water-sealed discharge valve.
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.
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.
Sealed, tamperproof 304-L

stainless steel package
Able to withstand freeze-ups
without damage.
Dependable operation
Simple, direct operation with
nothing to stick, bind or clog.
Only two moving parts
the valve lever and the bucket.
Freedom from dirt problems
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.
Resistance to damage from water hammer

Open bucket or float will not collapse as a
result of water hammer.
Condensate flow under the bottom edge of

the bucket keeps sediment and sludge in
suspension until it is discharged with the
condensate. Valve orifice opens wide and
closes tightly. No buildup of dirt or
close clearances to be affected by scale.

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.

*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.
Pop Drain for Freeze Protection

In general, a properly selected and
installed Armstrong trap will not freeze
as long as steam is coming to the trap.
If the steam supply is shut off, a pop
drain should be used to automatically
drain the trap. Stainless steel pop drain
available for Models 1811 and 1822.

20-DC Series Automatic Differential Condensate Controllers

Steam Trapping and
C
B
Secondary Steam
Description
Connections
Armstrong automatic differential condensate controllers (DC) are designed

to function on applications where condensate must be lifted from a drain
point or in gravity drainage applications where increased velocity will aid in
condensate drainage.
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.

Steam Trapping and

Float & Thermostatic Steam Trap

The More Your Steam Pressure Varies, the More You Need Armstrong F&T Traps
When steam pressure may vary from maximum steam supply
pressure to vacuum, Armstrong F&Ts are your most energy-efficient
choice. Our line of F&Ts brings Armstrong performance, dependability
and long life to trapping services requiring continuous drainage with
high air venting capacity. Thanks to separate orifices for condensate
and air, they provide continuous condensate drainage and air venting
even under conditions of zero pressure.
All the benefits detailed below have been designed into

Armstrong F&Ts through long experience in the manufacture
of pressure float-type drain traps. They assure you of optimum
operating efficiency for long periods with minimum trouble.
No water seal at inlet
Optional integral vacuum breakers
Inlet high on body and condensate discharge

valve in the bottom of the body prevent formation
of a water seal that could block flow of air to
vent under very low pressure conditions.
Provide maximum protection against freezing

and water hammer in condensing equipment
under modulated control. They also eliminate
another fitting being installed in the line.
Corrosion resistance
Entire float mechanism is made of stainless
steel. The float is Heliarc welded to avoid the
introduction of dissimilar metals, which could
lead to galvanic corrosion and float failure.
High-capacity
venting of air and C02
Built-in thermostatic air vent
discharges large volumes of air
and C02 through its separate
orificeeven under very low
pressure conditions.
Long life and

dependable service
Valve is stainless
steel in all sizes.
Seat is heat treated
in 1-1/2" pipe size and
larger. Rugged float
mechanism is built to
resist wear, and the
stainless steel float
provides exceptionally
high collapsing pressure
and resistance to
hydraulic shock.
Water sealed valve

Steam cannot reach
condensate discharge valve
because it is always under
water. Balanced pressure
thermostatic air vent closes on
steam at any pressure within
the operating range of the trap.
Operation against back pressure
Continuous drainage
Trap operation is governed solely by the

condensate level in the trap. Back pressure
in the return line will not render the trap
inoperative as long as there is any pressure
differential to force condensate through the
discharge valve.
No pressure fluctuations due to

intermittent condensate drainage.
Condensate is discharged at
very close to steam temperature.
No priming needed.

Float & Thermostatic Steam Trap
Armstrong float and thermostatic traps are unique in their super

heavy duty construction. Armstrong uses high quality ASTM A48
Class 30 cast iron or ASTM A216 WCB cast steelnormally found
in pressure vessels rated to 250 psi or 465 psi. Internal mechanisms
are made from stainless steel and are heavily reinforced. No brass
cotter pins here. Valves and seats are stainless steel, hardened,
ground and lapped to withstand the erosive forces of flashing
condensate.
Why go to all this trouble on traps normally recommended for
low-pressure, modulating service? The answer is in the word
modulating. Modulating pressures mean widely varying loads,
thermal cycling and high air and non-condensable gas loads.
In other words, tough service. Inferior, lightweight construction is a

mistake waiting to happen. Trap failures on modulating pressure may
lead to water hammer, corrosion and even heat exchanger damage.
Armstrongs published capacities are based on actual measurements
of traps handling hot, flashing condensate. Competitive F&Ts may utilize
theoretical calculated capacities. Armstrong uses its own steam lab
to give you actual capacityespecially important on high-capacity
traps such as those in our ultra-capacity line. Not only does Armstrong
offer super heavy duty construction for long life and reliability, but
we also supply the data to back up performance. Heres a simple,
easy-to-remember summary: The more your pressure varies, the
more you need Armstrong F&Ts.

Armstrong B and BI Series F&T traps combine high standards of

performance and long life with economy for heating service where continuous
drainage with high air-venting capacity is required.
Integral vacuum breaker. Add suffix VB to model number.
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.
CAUTION: Do not use a conventional vacuum breaker open to the atmosphere

in any system that incorporates a mechanical return system that carries
pressure less than atmospheric pressure. This includes all return systems
designated as vacuum returns, variable vacuum returns or subatmospheric
returns. If a vacuum breaker must be installed in such a system, it should be
of the type that is loaded to open only when the vacuum reaches a calibrated
level well in excess of the design characteristics of the system.

Many times, condensate will be retained ahead of steam traps because of
the presence of a vacuum. To break a vacuum, air must be introduced into
the system by means of a vacuum breaker.
For maximum protection against freezing and water hammer in condensing

equipment under modulated control, vacuum breakers are recommended.

Description

Armstrong A & AI Series F&T traps are for industrial service from 0 to
175 psig and feature a balanced pressure phosphor-bronze type bellows
caged in stainless steel. Armstrong A & AI Series F&T traps are designed
for service on heat exchange equipment where there is a need to vent air
and non-condensable gases quickly.
Integral vacuum breaker. Add suffix VB to model number.

CAUTION: Do not use a conventional vacuum breaker open to the atmosphere
in any system that incorporates a mechanical return system that carries
pressure less than atmospheric pressure. This includes all return systems
designated as vacuum returns, variable vacuum returns or subatmospheric
returns. If a vacuum breaker must be installed in such a system, it should be
of the type that is loaded to open only when the vacuum reaches a calibrated
level well in excess of the design characteristics of the system.
The AI Series F&T traps feature the convenience of in-line connections with
the same rugged internals found in the A Series.

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.

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.

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
access port in the top of the body serves as a back vent connection to the
equipment being drained. For capacity data, see pages LD-30 and LD-47 or

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 LS and MS 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 LS and MS Series units MUST BE WARMED UP in the proper
sequence and gradually. Recommended warm-up rate not to exceed
100F/8 minutes.

Closed Position
Open Position
Dual sealing action
The piston valve is a seatless valve that includes two graphite and
stainless steel valve sealing rings that seal the stem and function
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
of the sealing rings against the piston and the valve body. This
combination of disc springs and dual valve seal rings protects

against expansion and contraction due to heating and cooling.
This assures dependable operation, even after years of service.
Protected valve stem
The valve stem and sealing surfaces are completely protected
from dirt and corrosion by the stem cap, whether in an open or
closed position.
In-line repairability
All valve components may be easily replaced in-line.
Long-term operation
Piston valve design assures actuation even after many years
without operation.

Armstrong TVS 2000 Series Trap Valve Station
Typical Steam Trap Installation
TVS Makes a Long Story Short
Test and Save
The Armstrong stainless steel inverted bucket steam trap simply

carries a good idea to its logical conclusion by sealing all the
proven IB advantages in a tamperproof, corrosion-resistant
package. Lightweight and compact, Armstrong inverted buckets
can withstand freeze-ups without damage. In fact, were so sure of
their performance we guarantee them for three years against leaks.
Steam trap testing is a well-accepted component of aggressive

energy management. Certainly, its essential to the efficiency of
a well-designed and properly maintained steam system.
With the introduction of the 360 standard connector several

years ago and more recently the IS-2 connector with integral
strainer, Armstrong added even greater utility to this stainless
steel workhorse. The universal connector made it possible to
install inverted bucket efficiency and long service life in any
piping configuration with little or no repiping.
TVS: New Role for the Connector

Now the concept of the Trap Valve Station gives the universal
connector another job: matchmaker. It brings together a stainless
steel inverted bucket steam trap and plug valves.
Armstrong also gives you another way to combine steam traps and
valves. The plug valve TVS 2000 integrates stainless steel inverted
bucket traps and plug valves into preassembled trap test units. The
net result? Reduced purchasing and design time, lower installation
costs and savings in piping space. Plus the energy savings that are
dividends of regular trap testing.
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.

CD-33/CD-33S Disc Trap

Advantages
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.
Specification
Three discharge port design

The Armstrong CD-33 is a disc style trap designed to control the

traps cycle rate. By reducing the cycle rate, the Armstrong CD-33
will have a longer service life than typical disc traps. This enhanced
performance will ensure that maintenance time is minimized and
steam costs are greatly reduced.
Steam trap shall be stainless steel thermodynamic type, integral seat

design with hardened disc and seating surfaces, and electroless
nickel plated finish. When required, trap shall be supplied with an
integral Y strainer, integral blowdown valve or rain guard insulating
cap. Maximum allowable pressure (vessel design) shall be 915 psig
@ 752F (63 bar @ 400C). Maximum operating pressure shall be
600 psig @ 752F (42 bar @ 400C).

CD-60 Series Trap
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.

Model WT-3 Trap
Model WT-2000 With IS-2 Connector With Integral Strainer
Description
Armstrong offers three thermostatic wafer steam traps. The WT-1 is ideal
for low-capacity steam tracers and features an exclusive non-welded wafer
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.

*Capacities based on differential pressure with no back pressure.

**Capacities will vary with the degree of subcooling. When greater capacities are
required, the trap will automatically adjust to the load, up to the maximum (cold water)
capacity shown, by increasing the amount of subcooling.

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.

TT Series Thermostatic Steam Traps

All Stainless Steel
Steam Trapping and
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).

Armstrong Simplifies Your Tracing Line Systems

Designed to simplify and supply all the components (steam
traps, manifolds, valves, etc.) necessary for your drip and
tracer line applications, Armstrongs new Steam Distribution
and Condensate Collection Manifolds bring all components
together to reduce installation costs and provide a compact,
easily accessible, centrally located assembly.
Steam Distribution Manifolds
Armstrongs manifold series includes four different

configurations, a Steam Distribution (MSD/SMSD), and a
Condensate Collection Assembly (CCA/CCAF). As an option,
the condensate manifolds can offer freeze protection.
Condensate Collection Manifolds
In either case, you will save the expensive headaches of

trying to fabricate in-house. Whats more, your manifold will
be backed by the famous Armstrong qualityand a standard
three-year limited warranty.
As a Steam Distribution Assembly (MSD/SMSD), the manifold

places all steam supply valves in one location. Standardizing
components and centralizing their location simplifies installation,
cutting costs from the beginning. You also save because
routine maintenance is faster.
To make industrys trapping and valving more efficient,

Armstrong combines its stainless steel steam trap valve
stations with manifolds into a package called the Condensate
Collection Assembly (CCA). This prepackaged assembly offers
many great benefitscost savings in installation, design
flexibility, and reduced purchasing time. CCAF would also
include syphon tube freeze protection.
Whatever your condensate collection or steam distribution
needs, Armstrong has the manifold for savings over the
long term.

Armstrong manifolds. The many
manifolds in chemical/petrochemical
plants consume valuable floor space
and often block movement among
the units. Operating costs are high, and
installation requires expensive custom
fabrication on site. Clearly, a prefabricated
manifold permitting standardization of
components offers substantial savings
over conventional units. Shaded
products are available from Armstrong.

The Proof Is in the Piston
All types of valvesplug valves, gate valves, piston valves

and even ball valveshave been summoned for duty in
steam service. Due to its excellent sealing characteristics
in steam service, and because it has no gland packing,
the piston valve is frequently selected for steam systems.
Steam system valves, whatever their design, are used to

isolate steam and condensate lines or when a faulty steam
trap needs to be removed from the line. This means the valves
stay in the open position for long periods and are nearly
always in contact with the atmosphere. It is not surprising,
therefore, that when the valves need to be closed, they can
often prove difficult to operate. Our experience and the
demands from end users for energy efficiency have led us
to a sealing system designed especially for steam service.
Steam Trapping and

Many of Armstrongs manifolds utilize the piston valve

because of its years of excellent performance in steam
systems all over the world. The proof of Armstrongs long
service life for manifoldsis in the piston.
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
and to atmosphere.
The Piston Valve

Stainless Steel Valve Plug

Disc Springs
Graphite and Stainless
Steel Valve Sealing Rings

Dual sealing action. The piston valve is a seatless valve

that includes two graphite and stainless steel valve sealing
rings that seal the stem and function as a 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 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 ensured by the compression
of the sealing rings against the piston and valve body.
This combination of disc springs and dual valve seal rings

protects against expansion and contraction due to heating
and cooling. This ensures dependable operation, even after
years of service.
Protected valve stem. The valve stem and sealing surfaces
are completely protected from dirt and corrosion by the stem

Freeze Protection Package (CCAF)Optional

A manifold assembly for more efficient condensate return
has another benefitfreeze protection. Armstrongs
innovative manifold design actually serves as a heat station,
heating one or more traps if the steam supply is interrupted
or shut off to the traps. The protection is accomplished as
long as one trap continues to discharge into the manifold.
The manifolds internal syphon tube creates a water seal,
which contains the flash steam from the discharge of the
live trap. This allows radiant heat to protect shut-off traps
from freezing.
An optional freeze protection valve package senses
condensate temperature. When this device opens, it drains
condensate from the manifold assembly, thus providing
further freeze protection.
Design Flexibility
Armstrong can meet virtually any design parameter with
your choice of socketweld or threaded connections. Inverted
bucket, thermostatic, thermostatic wafer or disc steam traps
can be provided. If you require a specific piping arrangement,
Armstrong can offer the flexibility to meet your specifications.

Steam Trapping and

Steam Trap Options and Connectors

Thermic Vent Buckets
Whenever steam is turned on and off, air will accumulate in the piping and
steam equipment. A trap equipped with a thermic bucket will discharge this air
50 to 100 times faster than a standard bucket, reducing warm-up time. Thermic
vent buckets are suitable for pressures up to 130 psig (9 bar). A large vent
hole in the bucket can also solve air venting problems upon start-up.
Thermic

Valve
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
Internal
Check
Valve
Armstrong spring-loaded, stainless-steel internal check valves can be screwed

directly into the trap inlet or into an extended inlet tube having a pipe coupling
at the top.
In-Line Check Valve1/2'' (15 mm) and 3/4'' (20 mm) NPT
On 1800 and 2000 Series stainless-steel traps, an internal check valve cannot
be installed. Armstrongs CVI in-line check valve will solve the problem.

In general, a properly selected and installed Armstrong trap will not freeze
as long as steam is coming to the trap. If the steam supply is shut off, a pop
drain should be used to automatically drain the trap.

Keeps an Eye on Your

Steam Traps 24 Hours a Day Every Day
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.
SteamEye Saves Energy and Money
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.

Keeps an Eye on Your

Steam Traps 24 Hours a Day Every Day
SteamEye Software Never Sleeps
Perhaps your maintenance staff has been right-sized to a fraction

of its former size. If so, youve joined the ranks of those who are
expected to do more with less. Thats why SteamEye can be an
invaluable partner in making the impossible a reality. An example
will illustrate how.
While the transmitters, the receiver and a computer collectively make

up the body of the SteamEye monitoring system, the software is its
heart. Its the SteamEye software that serves as the sentry who is
always on duty.
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.
Think of the SteamEye software as the power and vision behind

the whole system. It is the operational link that ties all of your
equipment together to give you continuous monitoring. A remarkable
diagnostic tool, the SteamEye will simultaneously put you in 20 or
200or moreplaces at the same time. For more details on the
software and the kind of data it provides, see page TM-4.
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.

Devices
SteamEye Saves Time and Maintenance Dollars
Protects Critical Production Processes
SteamEye literally keeps an eye on the steam component of a critical

process, alerting you instantly to a temperature reduction due to the
backing up of condensate, which could signal a process or product
at risk.
Permits using software to rank equipment as critical or non-critical
so you can prioritize repairs
Reduces product loss and process downtime by quickly pinpointing
problems, enabling personnel to respond quickly
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:
Increased personnel safety

Increased control over steam equipment
Measurable reductions in maintenance costs
Increased plant productivity
Reduced product loss
Improved profit potential
Increases productivity by reducing downtime due to lack of proper

condensate removal

Goes the Distance
The transmitter sends a radio frequency signal indicating the status

of the steam trap back to the receiver. If the transmitter is out of
range of the receiver, one or more repeaters send the signal back
to the receiver. The receiver is connected to the communications
port of a personal computer running the SteamEye monitoring
program. Information regarding a steam traps operating condition
(OK, blow-thru or cold) can be viewed with this program. The data
can then be downloaded into the optional APM Super+ program
for additional reporting capabilities.
Typical Plant Layout

1/4 Mile
What is the typical range of the RF signal? In applications where

the transmitter is located within the line of sight of the receiver,
the range is approximately 400 yards. In facilities where the signal
must travel through walls or floors, the range varies. The typical
range of the signal is approximately 100 yards. If the receiver is
out of the range of a transmitter, devices called repeaters can be
placed between the transmitter and the receiver to repeat the
signal from one device to the next. A transmitter signal can pass
through up to seven repeaters. Since it is difficult to know the
range of a transmitter in a facility, conduct a radio frequency signal
strength survey to determine if repeaters should be used and how
many will be required.
1/4 Mile

Page TM-3
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.
How the
Repeater
Trap with Transmitter
Computer with Receiver
Transmitter Works
How can SteamEye know and communicate whats happening

inside a steam trap? The answer is a probe that gives you a
temperature/condensate profile of a trap in comparison to
established parameters. A temperature sensor indicates when a
traps internal temperature falls below a predetermined set point.
Since the probe is essentially a liquid-level monitoring device,

absence of condensate in the inverted bucket steam trap indicates
a blow-thru or loss of prime. The job of the transmitter is to transmit
the data back to the receiver.
Steam
OK
Condensate
Blow-Thru
Cold
Now the probe tip is exposed, and the trap

temperature is above the predetermined set point.
SteamEye would signal a loss of prime or a trap
that is allowing live steam to blow-thru (BT).
The trap is now flooded with condensate, and

SteamEye would alert you to a cold trap as soon
as the temperature fell below the predetermined
temperature set point.
Probe
Transmitter
In this condition, the probe tip is making contact

with condensate, indicating the presence of
condensate. If the temperature is above the
predetermined set point, SteamEye would report
an OK condition.

Two Transmitter Choices

RFM3300
Transmitter
RFC3300
Transmitter
The RFM3000 would be used on modulated pressure applications

such as heat exchangers and air coils.
With

Devices
The RFC3300 transmitter is for use on applications where

steam pressure is always above 0 psig. The second choice is the
RFM3300 transmitter. It has a connection on the cover that can be
connected to a pressure or position switch. This switch connection
allows the unit to determine whether the steam is turned on to the
system. If there is no steam on to the system (no pressure), the
trap will not report any faults such as a cold trap. If steam is flowing
(pressure) and the trap goes into a blow-thru or cold condition, an
alarm signal will be transmitted.
Software, Your Traps Will Tell You How Theyre Doing
As we have seen, the SteamEye software is your window

into the inner workings of your steam trap population. You can
also use the SteamEye software in conjunction with the optional
APM Super+*. This program allows you to export and import the
data gathered by the SteamEye software and generate a variety of
reports. As a result, you can build a remarkably versatile database
of trap operating history.
The SteamEye software allows you to identify traps as critical or
non-critical, as shown in Screens TM-1 and TM-2. Note the tabbed
screens across the top and the System Status profile on the left
side of Screen TM-1. Screen TM-2 summarizes faults on non-critical
traps. Screen TM-3 gives you a good idea of the level of detail
available through the SteamEye software. Each trap is identified by
its transmitter number, and you have visible data on the date and
time of the last communication, the trap condition as well as the
status of the signal and battery, and the trap location.

Devices
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.
SteamEye and Building Automation Systems (BAS)
12-1/2'' Ref
UP
If monitoring steam trap conditions through an existing BAS

is desired, the SteamEye system can meet these needs. The
SteamEye receiver connected to a BAS interface controller
collects information from SteamEye transmitters. The BAS interface
controller stores the information until queried by a BAS. The BAS
interface controller then provides the information to the BAS in an
open protocol format (selected per application).

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.

TA4200 TrapAlert
Get Your Share of Energy and Maintenance Savings.

Do Your Part in Protecting the Environment.
TrapAlert saves energy and maintenance dollars because it
simplifies trap testing and makes it more efficientmore productive.
It makes trap testing simple, accurate and quickeven for remote
or inaccessible traps. And that means frequent testing is now practical because you can test more often at far less cost.
With TrapAlert, you can have an inside view of trap conditions. Youll
know when a trap needs attention. So you can use maintenance
people to solve real problems, instead of spending their expensive
time checking traps that are working.
You Get Instant Results.

Simple, accurate operation makes getting instant feedback from a
trap test as easy as shining a flashlight.
With TrapAlert, you can know when a trap is in troubledepending,
of course, on how often you choose to test. Think of it as a trap with
a built-in energy monitor. Knowing whats going on inside is the only
way to know what to do about itand when.
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.
TrapAlert Outsmarts Even the Most Isolated Trap

TrapAlert provides a trap testing and monitoring system without
the need to hard-wire multiple traps. Designed for services up to
400 psi (28 bar) and temperatures to 450F (232C), TrapAlert is
also intrinsically safe for use in Class I, II or III, Division I, Groups
A through G hazardous locations.
