Sealed steam traps
Overview
Spirax Sarco sealed steam traps use all-welded construction to help prevent steam leakage and reduce the maintenance attention associated with more conventional trap arrangements. Because the units are compact and lightweight, they can help reduce pipe loading, simplify installation and make replacement planning more straightforward. The format also reduces spare-parts complexity by moving the maintenance model toward unit replacement rather than detailed internal rebuilds. This makes sealed steam traps especially relevant where downtime, leakage risk and maintenance standardisation all matter together. They are therefore often selected where fleet simplicity and consistent replacement practice matter more than detailed on-site overhaul.

Sealed formats are usually chosen for simpler replacement and lower leakage risk. If the maintenance strategy also depends on connector standardisation, compare swivel connectors and traps. Where the application instead needs pressure-responsive thermostatic behaviour, continue into balanced pressure steam traps.

Continue your compact trap selection
Sealed steam traps are usually selected as part of a wider maintenance simplification strategy rather than only on trap mechanism alone.
Compare the wider trap portfolio
Return to the wider steam traps range when you need to compare sealed trap formats with maintainable mechanical, thermodynamic or thermostatic alternatives.
Coordinate sealed units with faster change-out
Use swivel connectors and traps when the maintenance strategy depends on quick-fit change-out and connector standardisation around the trap.
