The Thermostatic Bimetallic Steam Trap BK45 is used for low capacity applications such as drip and tracing, and economically combines steam trap, check valve and Y-Strainer (with optional blow off valve) in a small profile with a convenient 2-bolt cover for easy maintenance.
Features and Benefits
? Forged steel body and cover.
? Pressure assisted fail-open design.
? Factory-preset bimetallic regulator with integral staged nozzle. No adjustment required.
? Discharges hot condensate in a modulating fashion at approximately 18°F (10°C) below saturation temperature throughout its operating range. One internal regulator for all pressure ranges.
? Unaffected by water hammer or superheat-solid stainless steel internals.
? Self draining - will not freeze when installed in gravity drainage position.
? Automatically vents air and non-condensable gases and has a high (6:1) cold water capacity for rapid start-up.
? Operates with zero steam loss throughout its operating range saving steam and money during the life of the trap.
? Easy in-line inspection and maintenance - mechanical stops prevent crushing of the gasket for extended gasket life.
? Can be installed in any position.
? Internal stainless steel Y-strainer, with optional blowoff valve.
? Integral check valve design.
