The FT46 is an austenitic stainless 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. Flow direction for the horizontal trap is clearly illustrated above.

Air vent: The BP99/32 capsule which is used in the FT46 is suitable for use on 150 °C superheat @ 0 bar g. This value reduces with

elevated pressure.

The bimetallic element is fitted as standard to the 32 bar variants to provide additional superheat resistance. It is also available on other

variants on request. Please refer to the Pressure/temperature limits graph on page 2.

Standards: This product fully complies with the requirements of the European Pressure Equipment Directive and carries the

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.

Optional extras: A manually adjustable needle valve (designated 'C' on the nomenclature i.e. FT46-C) can be fitted to the trap.

This option provides a steam lock release (SLR) feature in addition to the standard air vent.

Note: The SLR and bimetallic air vent cannot be used in conjunction with each other. Alternative arrangements may be available. For

further information please consult Spirax Sarco.
