Inverted Bucket Steam Trap – 990F Series

900F Series Inverted Bucket Steam Trap in cast steel, with in-line horizontal pipe connections and vertical integral strainers with a choice of screwed, socket weld or flanged connections.

The 900F Series has a unique leverage system multiplies the force provided by the bucket to open the valve against system pressure. The mechanism is free-floating, and has no fixed pivots to create wear or friction. Because the mechanism is located at the top of the trap, no dirt can collect on the orifice. Small particles of dirt are held in suspension until discharged by the full differential purging action when the bucket sinks, pulling the valve off the seat. The discharge orifice is surrounded by a water seal, preventing live steam loss.

Automatic air venting is provided by a small vent hole in the bucket, which provides continuous automatic air and CO2 venting at steam temperature.

Inverted bucket traps drain continuously, although discharging intermittently, allowing no condensate backup. They are also resistant to water hammer.
