Maximize thermal efficiency and safeguard steam equipment with the ARITA Thermo Cast Steel Ball Float Steam Trap Screwed End FT16-10. Engineered for continuous, modulating condensate evacuation, this mechanical float trap adapts instantly to fluctuating condensate loads. Designed for higher-pressure steam networks, it prevents water hammer and ensures uninterrupted heat transfer without steam loss.

Key Features & Benefits

• Continuous & Modulating Discharge: Uses a responsive stainless steel ball float mechanism to discharge condensate continuously at steam temperature, preventing liquid backlogging and cold spots.

• Integrated Thermostatic Air Vent: Built with a sensitive thermostatic capsule that automatically purges air and non-condensable gases during cold plant start-ups, preventing steam locking.

• Cast Steel Construction: Manufactured with a heavy-duty cast steel (WCB) body for enhanced thermal shock resistance, higher pressure thresholds, and durability over standard cast iron alternatives.

• Stainless Steel Internal Trim: All internal working parts, including float ball, lever mechanism, and valve seating, are crafted from high-grade stainless steel to resist wear and cavitation.

• Threaded (Screwed) End Design: Standard BSPT/NPT screwed connections enable quick, straightforward inline installation and simple servicing.
