Steam traps Ball float

8

Sizes and pipe connections DN25, DN40 and DN50

Note: Flow direction, for FT43 horizontal orientated traps, when facing the body: - DN25 is left to right (L-R). (R-L versions are available for DN25 FT43TV PN16 only) - DN40 and DN50 is right to left (R-L). Flow direction, for FT43V vertically orientated traps is downwards only. Only the one size, DN25, is available with JIS/KS flange connections with flow vertically downward FT43V. Standard flanges are EN 1092 PN16 with face-to-face dimensions in accordance with EN 26554 (Series 1). On request - ASME B 16.1 Class 125 and JIS / KS 10 flanges are also available. Note: ASME flanges are supplied with tapped holes to receive flange bolts. JIS / KS flanges will be supplied drilled as normal with plain bolts holes.
