Reliable Drainage for Steam and Gas LinesThe Ball Float Drain Trap is designed to handle condensate efficiently in demanding industrial applications. Its float-operated mechanism ensures automatic operation for both horizontal and vertical installations. With a unidirectional flow, robust construction, and diverse model sizes, it effectively prevents water hammer and maintains operational efficiency in steam and gas pipelines.
Durable Construction and Wide CompatibilityManufactured using premium SS304/SS316 and cast iron, this trap is equipped with a bolted cover for secure sealing. Suitable for high-pressure environments (up to 16 bar), it features anti-corrosive coatings and a soft or metal seat for enhanced longevity. Available in flanged or screwed connections, it easily adapts to various pipeline standards including BSP/NPT threads.
Compliant, Tested, and Easy to MaintainAdhering to ISI and ISO standards, every unit undergoes rigorous body pressure testing at 32 bar. Spares are readily available, supporting quick maintenance and long-term reliability. The painted or shot-blasted surface treatment and cylindrical shape contribute to its resilience against harsh industrial conditions.
FAQs of Ball Float Drain Trap:
Q: How is the Ball Float Drain Trap installed in industrial pipelines?
