The FT44 is a carbon steel bodied ball float steam trap having stainless steel working internals and automatic air venting facility. The

body and cover castings are produced by a TÜV approved foundry. The trap is supplied with integrally flanged connections and can be

maintained without disturbing the pipework. Vertical

flanged connections, designated FT44V, are available for all sizes. Flow direction for

the horizontal trap is clearly illustrated above. For vertically orientated traps the flow is downwards only.

Available options:

FT44 – Horizontal flow

FT44V – Vertical flow
