Description
The Watson McDaniel USIB450-80 Inverted Bucket Universal Style Steam Trap modules must be mounted to a universal connector. They are typically used for drip applications such as draining condensate from steam mains or steam supply lines as well as for steam tracing applications. USIB450H is the higher capacity model. Steam trap modules can be used with other manufacturers’ Universal Connectors. See installation and Maintenance regarding using trap in superheated applications.
The UC450 universal connector is permanently installed into the pipeline where the steam trap would normally be placed. The trap module, which functions like any standard inverted bucket steam trap, is fastened to the universal connector with two bolts. When a new trap module is needed, it can be easily removed and replaced with a standard open-end or socket wrench without disturbing the existing piping.

USIB450-80 Installation:
The Universal connector is first permanently threaded or welded into piping system. The USIB trap module is attached to the universal connector with two bolts. When a new trap is needed, it can be easily removed and replaced with a standard open-end or socket wrench without disturbing the existing piping. Trap must be installed in upright position as shown to function properly. With superheated steam, a check valve must be installed at inlet of trap to prevent the loss of prime. In vertical piping installations with upward flow, use of a blowdown valve is not recommended because discharge would be in upward and possibly unsafe direction.
