Pennant PT12 Thermodynamic Steam Trap

The Model PT12 thermodynamic steam trap with inbuilt strainer, in full stainless steel construction, best suited for header and main line drains and drip legs. Complete stainless steel construction ensures better mechanical and corrosion resistance properties. The disc and seat are hardened by a special induction hardening process with seat harder than disc, to withstand continuous, prolonged operation. Condensate entry below the disc, concentric to the disc/seat ensures a clean and parallel lift of the disc with reference to the seat, eliminating localized wear and tear.

The inbuilt strainer screen is of adequately large area. Ideal for fluctuating loads and pressures.

Perfect shut-off, no steam loss.

Important Maintenance Notes:

This trap can be maintained without disturbing the piping connections. Ensure that the trap is isolated—upstream and downstream—before attempting to dismantle it. ALLOW THE TRAP TO COOL BEFORE DISMANTLING. For trouble-free performance, periodic cleaning of the disc, seat and strainer screen is recommended. Do not use abrasive / corrosive media for cleaning. Only the disc and seat are subject to wear. A worn disc can be replaced. Slight seat wear can often be corrected by resurfacing on a lap plate. The trap should be installed as close as possible to the line to be drained. For new pipelines, ensure that the lines are properly flushed, prior to fitting the traps, to avoid strainer choke-up.
