Xylem-Hoffman Specialty 604001svc pkg FT015 3/4 & 1 Head assembly
Xylem-Hoffman Specialty 604001 is a head assembly for 3/4" and 1" FTO15H, 15-pound pressure, F&T traps. It comes with a fresh replacement cover that is pre-assembled with a float mechanism, gasket, air vent, and float. This pre-assembled kit simplifies trap maintenance by allowing you to replace the head assembly without disassembling the individual components.
Key features:
Pre-assembled for efficient maintenance:
Includes an air vent, gasket, float mechanism, and float all pre-assembled on a new replacement cover.
Eliminates the need to disassemble and reassemble individual components, saving time and effort during trap maintenance.
lowers the possibility of breaking or losing specific parts while doing maintenance.
Compatibility:
Designed for use with 3/4" and 1" FTO15H traps with a 15 pound pressure rating.
guarantees ideal performance and a flawless fit with matching steam traps.
Functionality:
Replaces the complete head assembly of the steam trap, restoring proper operation.
Includes an air vent for releasing non-condensable gases like air from the trap, ensuring efficient steam drainage.
Features a float mechanism and float that acts as a level control, regulating the opening and closing of the trap valve based on the condensate level.
Additional benefit:
Made with high-quality materials for durability and long service life.
Signs of faulty Head assembly svc pkg FT015 3/4 & 1 604001 Xylem-Hoffman Specialty:
Steam trap not draining properly:
This could be due to a faulty air vent not releasing non-condensable gases, leading to air binding and reduced condensate flow.
A malfunctioning float mechanism or float might not properly regulate the trap valve, causing it to remain closed or open at inappropriate times.
Blockages or leaks within the head assembly or trap body can also impede condensate drainage.
Excessive steam venting:
If the air vent in the Head assembly svc pkg FT015 3/4 & 1 604001 is stuck open, it might continuously release steam along with non-condensable gases, leading to wasted energy and reduced system efficiency.
Water hammer or noise:
This can occur if the trap valve opens and closes rapidly due to a faulty float mechanism or malfunctioning components within the head assembly.
Visible damage:
Look for physical signs of wear and tear on the head assembly, like cracks, corrosion, or loose connections. These could indicate compromised functionality.
Changes in pressure or temperature:
If the steam trap isn't functioning correctly, it might affect the overall system pressure and temperature. Unexplained fluctuations in these readings could be a clue.
Remember:
These are only a few potential signs; the real cause of the issue can be entirely different.
Consulting a qualified technician or referencing the specific trap model's troubleshooting guide is crucial for accurate diagnosis and proper repair.
