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.
