UTD Universal Thermodynamic Steam Trap Modules
DRIP, TRACING: Designed for drip applications for the draining of condensate from steam mains and other steam supply lines as well as for tracing applications. The UTD450 & UTD600 Steam Trap Modules can be used anywhere conventional thermodynamic steam traps are used. This trap module can be used on either vertical or horizontal piping installations and can mount to any 2-bolt Quick-Change Universal Connector.

How It Works
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.
Selection / Sizing / Capacities
Connector selection to use with the UTD450SM and UTD600LSM: UC450 (no strainer), UC450SR (strainer), UC450SBR (strainer and blowdown).
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 and Maintenance
Universal 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.
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 thermodynamic design. Universal connector shall conform to the two bolt industry standard with integral strainer and blowdown options.
