FTS14 ball float steam trap for stainless steel steam duties

FTS14 is typically selected where the process benefits from continuous condensate discharge rather than a cyclic or near-saturation thermostatic drainage pattern. That can be useful on variable-load equipment and on steam services where rapid air removal during start-up shortens the path back to stable operating conditions.

When a ball float trap is the better fit

FTS14 is typically selected where the process benefits from continuous condensate discharge rather than a cyclic or near-saturation thermostatic drainage pattern. That can be useful on variable-load equipment and on steam services where rapid air removal during start-up shortens the path back to stable operating conditions.

It is also useful where installation flexibility matters. The rotatable cover arrangement makes the trap easier to adapt to real plant layouts without giving up the continuous drainage behaviour that ball float users are usually looking for.

Typical stainless steel steam duties

  • Process vessels and jacketed equipment
  • Sterilisers and autoclaves
  • Heat exchangers with changing condensate loads
  • Steam mains and branches that benefit from integral venting
