Frost Protection Liquid Expansion Trap

Description

The Spirax Sarco bydrain frost protection liquid expansion trap is

made of stainless steel. It has been specifically designed for protecting

water systems from frost damage. This fixed temperature discharge

trap continuously monitors the water temperature in the pipes; the

trap is firmly closed at 7°C, but as the temperature of the water cools

to 2°C the trap opens, discharging any water in the pipe.

This product fully complies with the requirements of the European

Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC.
