Sarco B1H-125 3/4inch 64162 Horizontal In-Line Bucket Trap 125PSIG

Description

The Sarco B1H-125 3/4″ 64162 Horizontal In-Line Bucket Trap is a reliable and efficient condensate drainage solution for steam systems. Here’s a breakdown of its key features and function:

Function:

• Removes condensate (water vapor that condenses) from steam piping systems, preventing accumulation and potential damage from water hammer, corrosion, and reduced heat transfer.
• Operates through a simple lever mechanism using the weight of the condensate to open and close the valve, allowing condensate to discharge while blocking steam flow.

Key Features:

• Horizontal in-line configuration: Designed for installation directly in horizontal steam pipelines.
• 3/4-inch NPT threaded connections: Fits standard pipe sizes for easy installation.
• 125 psi maximum operating pressure: Suitable for a wide range of steam system pressures.
• Cast iron construction: Offers durability and corrosion resistance for long-lasting performance.
• Inverted bucket design: Efficiently removes condensate and minimizes steam loss.
• High air venting capacity: Purges air quickly from the system, ensuring optimal steam flow.
• Compact size: Fits easily in tight spaces.
• Internal check valve: Prevents condensate backflow into the steam line.

Applications:

• Steam main drip stations
• Laundry equipment
• Industrial dryers and storage tanks
• Heat exchangers
• Other industrial and commercial steam applications

Things to Consider:

• System compatibility: Ensure the trap’s pressure rating and size match your specific steam system requirements.
• Proper installation: Follow manufacturer’s instructions and recommended piping practices for optimal performance.
• Maintenance: Regularly inspect and clean the trap to ensure proper operation and prevent clogging.

Alternatives:

• Sarco offers a variety of other inverted bucket traps in different sizes, pressure ratings, and configurations to suit diverse steam system needs.

Overall, the Sarco B1H-125 3/4″ 64162 Horizontal In-Line Bucket Trap is a robust and reliable solution for condensate drainage in steam systems. Its ease of installation, durability, and efficient operation make it a popular choice for both industrial and commercial applications.
