Xylem-Hoffman Specialty 401536 17C Thermo.Trap 1/2 Inch Angle 25#

The Xylem-Hoffman Specialty 401536 17C thermostatic trap is an essential component utilized in steam heating systems to regulate the flow of condensate and prevent the loss of steam. This trap, which is installed at the system's lowest points or in areas where condensate tends to collect, reacts to temperature changes. A thermostatic element inside the trap expands when steam enters, allowing condensate to drain out of it. The thermostatic element closes the trap and stops steam from escaping when the steam condenses and cools. This cycle maintains steam in the system while ensuring effective condensate removal. The 17C thermostatic trap's angled form and 1/2-inch connector make it appropriate for a range of steam heating applications.
