The universal steam trap strainer connectors in the company's new line have upgraded BDV3 blowdown valves. When used with standardized, universal-type steam traps, the swivel-type connectors constitute a complete, compact station with NPT, socket weld, or ½-, ¾-, and 1-inch flanged connections. The new trap station, rated to 600 psig at 750°F, is compatible with the manufacturer's universal thermodynamic, balanced pressure, inverted bucket, float, and thermostatic and bimetallic steam traps. The universal design enables the trap and its components to be removed and replaced without disturbing the piping. The universal connector comes with body, strainer screen, cap gasket, blowdown cap and plug, or blowdown valve.
