The USM21 is a pre-set and maintenance free sealed bimetallic
steam trap manufactured in stainless steel. It is designed for steam
pressures up to 21 bar and applications such as steam tracing
and mains drips. When installed in any position with a suitable
pipeline connector the USM21 can easily and simply be removed
without breaking into the pipeline, thus speeding up trap
replacement with minimal system downtime. Pipeline connectors
are available with screwed, socket weld and flanged connections.
Standards
This product fully complies with the requirements of the European
Pressure Equipment Directive 97 / 23 / EC and carries the
mark
when so required.
Note: The body/cover weld joint complies with ASME section IX.
Certification
This product is available with certification to EN 10204 3.1.
Note: All certification/inspection requirements must be stated
at the time of order placement.

The product must not be used in this region.
The product should not be used in this region or beyond
its operating range as damage to the internals may occur.
The model of pipeline connector and connections selected
will dictate the maximum operating pressure and temperature of the
complete assembly. Consult the specified Technical Information sheet
as listed in 'Sizes and pipe connections' for relevant data.
