Xylem 404324 B1015A Inverted Bucket Steam Trap 3/4" NPT 15 PSI

The Xylem 404324 is a Hoffman Specialty Bear Trap Series B1 inverted bucket steam trap designed for efficient condensate drainage in industrial process and HVAC equipment applications. This cast iron steam trap features a 3/4-inch NPT connection in an in-line horizontal configuration, making it ideal for reliable steam system performance.

How It Works: Inverted bucket steam traps utilize the density difference between steam and condensate to automatically drain condensate as it forms. An inverted bucket floats in the surrounding condensate, and as the bucket moves up and down, a connected linkage opens or closes a discharge valve to trap or release condensate. This design ensures maximum system efficiency by keeping the steam space free of condensate.
