Description

The IBV series Z inverted bucket steam trap is manufactured

using alloy steel for the body and cover; with internal components

being made of stainless steel. It is suitable for use with saturated

and superheated steam and in high pressure and high

temperature applications. The IBV is fully automatic and has been

designed in such a way that there is minimal friction from

mechanism movement; valve closure is immediate, without any

steam loss and the discharge action is positive with no equivocal

phases.

On the cover of the IBV there in a " hole, threaded and

plugged, to eliminate any water discharge after being hydraulically

tested before leaving the factory. This hole can be reopened on

site for the customer to perform periodic hydro testing.
