Spirax-Sarco 57062 FT-125 1-1/2" Float & Thermostatic Steam Trap 125 PSI

The Spirax-Sarco 57062 FT-125-1 1/2" is a float and thermostatic (F&T) steam trap used in a variety of HVAC equipment to remove condensate (liquid water) from steam systems and minimize steam loss. It accomplishes this by combining a bimetallic thermostat with a float mechanism. Condensate buildup causes the float to activate a valve, which releases the condensate. To prevent steam loss, the thermostat makes sure the trap stays closed when steam is present. For effective condensate removal and enhanced system efficiency, this trap is frequently used in steam mains, unit heaters, air heating coils, heat exchangers, and condensate return lines. Its advantages include avoiding water hammer, cutting down on energy loss from steam leakage, and guaranteeing that equipment operates properly by getting rid of condensate buildup.
