Carbon Steel

Ball Float Steam Trap (DN15 and DN20)

FTC32CV shown

Description

The FTC32 is a carbon steel ball float steam trap with integral

automatic thermostatic air vent. It is ideal for all process drainage

applications as condensate is always removed efficiently and

quickly over a wide range of fluctuating pressure and load

conditions. Standard connections are horizontal from right to left

(R-L) when viewed from the base.

Capsule

The BP99/32 capsule which is used in the FTC32 ball float steam

trap is suitable for use on 150°C superheat @ 0 bar g and 50°C

superheat @ 32 bar g.

Standards

This product fully complies with the requirements of the European

Pressure Equipment Directive 97 / 23 / EC and carries the CE mark

when so required.

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.
