Options & Features (See Specification Sheet For Full List):
UT450 Quick-Change Trap Module
DRIP, TRACING, PROCESS: The UT450 Thermostatic Steam Trap Module can be used anywhere conventional thermostatic steam traps are used. Used for drip, tracing and light process applications. Trap module mounts to any 2-bolt Quick-Change Universal Connector..
Selection / Sizing / Capacities
The UC450 universal connector is permanently installed into the pipeline where the steam trap would normally be placed. The trap module, which functions like any thermodynamic steam trap, is fastened to the universal connector with two bolts. When a new trap module is needed, it can be easily removed and replaced with a standard open-end or socket wrench without disturbing the existing piping.
How It Works
Connector selection to use with the UT450: UC450 (no strainer), UC450SR (strainer), UC450SBR (strainer and blowdown). Select this model for steam systems with maximum working pressure of 450 PSIG.
Options
Universal Connectors are available with an integral strainer and blowdown valve. Connector is purchased separately. See the UC450 Universal Connectors section for more information.
Installation & Maintenance
Mounts to any two-bolt quick change universal connector. Trap module is attached to the connector using two bolts and two sealing gaskets. When a new trap module is needed, it can be easily removed and replaced with a standard open-end or socket wrench without unthreading the existing piping. In vertical piping installations with upward flow, use of a blowdown valve is not recommended. Discharge would be in upward and unsafe direction.
Sample Specification
The steam trap module shall be designed to attach to the industry standard two-bolt universal connector. Trap module shall be of a thermostatic design. The universal connector shall conform to the two-bolt industry standard with integral strainer and blowdown options.
