Spirax Sarco FT14 Ball Float Steam Trap Flanged for Industrial Steam Systems High Efficiency Condensate Drain
The Spirax Sarco FT14 is a robust SG iron-bodied ball float steam trap (Float & Thermostatic type) with stainless steel working internals and an integral automatic thermostatic air vent. Designed for flanged connections, it is available in sizes DN15, DN20 and DN25 (½", ¾", 1"). The trap can be maintained without disturbing the pipework and is supplied in horizontal flow configurations (R-L or L-R), with on-site adjustment possible for downward vertical flow applications.
- Integral thermostatic air vent for automatic air and non-condensable gas removal
- Stainless steel internals and main valve for long service life
- Maintainable in-line without removing from pipework
- Optional steam lock release (SLR) via manually adjustable needle valve (FT14-C)
- Optional integral strainer screen (FT14X-)
- Suitable for superheated steam up to 150 °C at 0 bar g and 50 °C at 32 bar g
- Complies with European Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU
