(0 to 3 bar g) N type pilot valve
E type pilot valve (>3 to 21 bar g)
Hot water capacity
Both the SP80 and SP100 bimetallic steam traps are available with
2 different pilot valve assemblies (N type) or (E type) and 4 different
seat types to achieve the rated capacities.
The spare parts available are detailed below. No other parts are
supplied as spares.
To work out the appropriate bimetallic pilot valve and seat size
for your application, follow the sizing procedure listed below:
1. The trap inlet pressure must be known:
Available spares
Pilot valve assembly N type
Pilot valve assembly E type
Gasket kit
Always order spares by using the description given in the column
headed 'Available spares' and state the size and model of the
bimetallic steam trap.
Example: 1 - Gasket kit for a DN80 Spirax Sarco SP80 bimetallic
steam trap.
If the inlet pressure is below 3 bar g then select an N type pilot
valve. If the inlet pressure is above 3 bar g then select an E type
pilot valve.

2. The outlet pressure must be known to determine the differential
pressure across the trap.
How to order spares
3. Depending on the desired capacity and differential pressure
required, use the capacity chart above to choose the seat
diameter which is closest to the seat’s mid range capacity.
Differential pressure bar (x 100 = kPa)
Cold water capacity
Sizing example:
1. If the trap inlet pressure is 10 bar g - select E type pilot valve.
2. If the outlet pressure is 6 bar g then: 10 bar g (inlet pressure)

Recommended tightening torques
- 6 bar g (outlet pressure) means 4 bar g differential pressure exists.
3. If the trap is required to drain 25 000 kg/h then select either an
SP80E or SP100E with a 46 mm seat, as this is closest to
the mid-range capacity for a 46 mm seat. Although the capacity
is also within the lower range of a 54 mm seat, trap performance
