Standard Features
- Simple, rugged construction. This Sterlco® trap is a mechanically simple and durable combination of a float and thermostatic trap. All working parts are made of non-corrosive metals especially adapted for this service.
- Sensitive thermostatic action. Charging the thermostatic disc under high vacuum assures sensitive and positive response to temperature and pressure over entire operating range. Disc corrugations are shaped to reduce hinge action at the rim of the disc and evenly distribute disc motion.
- Instantaneous valve action. Design of the float vale assembly permits rapid and positive valve action. Location of the valve assures a deep water seal at all times.
- Continuous rapid flow of water. A lever operated discharge valve opens wide so that large volumes of water can flow continuously from trap.
- Thorough testing. In addition to tests made of the completed trap, each thermostatic disc is tested before it is assembled into the trap.
- Minimum maintenance. All working parts may be inspected, removed or repaired without disturbing piping. Clean-out plug permits easy flushing of dirt.
