Armstrong International Cast Iron Inverted Bucket Steam Trap

The Armstrong International Cast Iron Inverted Bucket Steam Trap is a mechanical steam trap that removes condensate and air from steam lines and steam-heated equipment while keeping live steam in the system. Armstrong pioneered the inverted bucket design, which is known for dependable operation in industrial steam heating and process applications.

Key Features:

• Inverted bucket operating principle: a bucket that floats and sinks opens and closes the discharge valve in response to steam and condensate. This gives continuous, reliable condensate removal.
• Cast iron body: a durable, pressure-rated housing suited to general-purpose steam service.
• Threaded NPT connections: these make installation in standard steam piping straightforward.
• Simple internal mechanism: few moving parts means less wear and easier maintenance.
• Air venting: the trap vents air and non-condensable gases, which helps equipment heat up quickly.
• Pressure-specific models: the line includes models built for different operating pressure ranges, so you can match the trap to your system.

Use these steam traps on steam mains, drip legs, heat exchangers, unit heaters, and other process equipment. Armstrong International is a long-established steam system manufacturer. Choose the model that matches your system's operating pressure and pipe connection.
