At relatively cool conditions, the trap is open for the discharge of condensate. When the temperature of the condensate is equal to or higher than the set temperature, the metals react and expand, closing the trap. External field-adjustability of the bi-metal element allows control of the condensate discharge temperature. Trap module is fastened to the universal connector using 2 bolts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSelection \/ Sizing \/ Capacities\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/4576\/4430\/files\/capacity-chart-ub450.png?v=1786495085\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"135\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapacities in chart are based on discharging condensate to atmosphere with a condensate temperature of 200° F.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContact factory for additional information including other condensate set and discharge temperatures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo ensure proper operation and eliminate possible steam loss, the Set Temperature should be lower than 27 °F subcool (degrees below inlet steam saturation temperature).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation and Maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUniversal connector is first permanently installed (threaded, welded, flanged) into piping system. Trap module should be installed in orientation shown with cap facing upwards. The trap module is fastened to the universal connector using two bolts. If the trap fails for any reason, replace only the trap module. In vertical piping installations with upward flow, use of a blowdown valve is not recommended. Discharge would be in upward and unsafe direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"clear: both;\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"tech\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"left\"\u003eModel\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"right\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eUB450 Series\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"left\"\u003eConnections\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"right\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eFits UC450 Series Universal Connectors\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"left\"\u003eBody Materia\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"right\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eStainless Steel\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"left\"\u003ePMO Max.
