FTT Float & Thermostatic Ductile Stainless Steel Steam Traps

DRIP, PROCESS: FTT Float & Thermostatic Ductile Stainless Steel Steam Traps with CF8M Stainless Steel Body and in-line pipe connections are used for the removal of condensate and air in HVAC and industrial process applications such as unit heaters, water heaters, pressing machines, heat exchangers and coils. They works same as FTT Series, however the FTT Series have Max Operating Steam Pressure up to 300 PSIG but FTTS Series have it up to 225 PSIG.

Ductile Iron has a higher pressure and temperature rating and is more resistant to shock loads than cast Iron
All stainless steel internals with hardened seat and wear parts
In-line repairability is simplified by having all internals attached to the cover
Welded stainless steel thermostatic air vent resists shock from waterhammer. Live orifice air vent is available for superheated applications
Excellent air handling capability allows air to be discharged rapidly so steam can enter the system quickly during start-up
F&T traps discharge condensate immediately as it is formed (no condensate will back up into the system)

Steam Trap Application Data Sheet

FTT Float & Thermostatic Ductile Stainless Steel Steam Traps feature:

Stainless Steel Bodies
All Stainless Steel Internals
225 psig Operating Pressures

These Steam traps are used where frequent System wash down is required or when rust and other surface corrosion cannot be tolerated such as in facilities used for Food and Beverage or Pharmaceutical production.

Float and thermostatic traps contain a float and seat mechanism with a separate thermostatic element which work together to remove both condensate and air from the steam system. The float, which is attached to a valve, rises and opens the valve when condensate enters the trap. This allows the condensate to discharge. Air is discharged through the thermostatic air vent to the outlet side of the trap. Steam entering the trap causes the thermostatic element to expand, closing the air vent and trapping the steam.
