PT24 High-Pressure Vertical Inverted Bucket Steam Trap

The PT24 High-Pressure Inverted Bucket Steam Trap is engineered for the controlled discharge of accumulated condensate from demanding industrial steam systems. Featuring a vertical configuration, durable cast steel construction and complete stainless steel internal components, it is suitable for installations that require dependable performance at elevated operating pressures and temperatures. Its compact trap sizes and high condensate-handling capacities make the PT24 adaptable to a broad range of high-pressure steam applications.

The inverted bucket mechanism operates according to the density difference between steam and water. This creates a cyclic discharge action that releases accumulated condensate from the system. Its valve and valve seat undergo a specialised induction-hardening process, helping them withstand prolonged and continuous operation. The trap is also designed to provide tight shut-off and minimise the unwanted loss of live steam when correctly selected and installed.
