BPT13T and BPT13TGX Thermostatic Steam Traps

Description The BPT13T is a brass bodied maintainable balanced pressure steam trap with horizontal in-line connections. It has a unique bypass and stop valve feature built into the trap which simplifies and reduces the cost of installation. The bypass can be used simply to handle high start-up loads or to avoid debris collecting in the steam trap, on the commissioning of new systems. The BPT13TGX has an integral sight tube for indication of operation. Note : When placing an order always state capsule fill. Capsule fill and operation Standard capsules are marked with the letter 'STD' for operation at approximately 10 °C below steam saturation temperature. Optionally the capsule can be supplied for sub-cooled 'SUB' operation at approximately 22 °C below steam saturation temperature or a 'NTS' fill capsule for near-to-steam operation at approximately 4 °C below steam saturation temperature.
