Description
The Watson McDaniel WT1500-12-N Thermostatic Steam Trap is a thermostatic trap that is ideally sized for sterilizers, steam tracing, and drip legs. Thermostatic traps are small, lightweight and have excellent air discharging capabilities allowing it to also be used as a low-capacity air vent. Discharging air at start-up allows steam to quickly enter the system. Contains an extremely strong and rugged precision welded Stainless Steel thermal element.
This thermostatic trap contains a welded stainless steel thermal element that expands when heated and contracts when cooled to 15?F (average) below saturated steam temperature. When air or sub-cooled condensate are present, the trap is in the open discharge position. When steam reaches the trap, the element expands and closes off tightly.
WT1500 Features:
- Excellent at discharging air which allows steam to enter system quickly; extremely important during start-up.
- Welded stainless steel thermal element resists shock from water hammer.
- Freeze-proof when trap is installed in a vertical orientation allowing for complete condensate drainage.
- In the unlikely event of bellows failure, trap remains open to remove condensate for system safety.
- Repairable with assembly kit.
