Float Trap Double Orifice 1/2"
Double orifice ball float steam trap for efficient condensate removal. Forbes type design. Available in Cast Iron (CI) and WCB (Carbon Steel) body materials. Reliable operation in steam heating, process equipment, and industrial applications.
Quick Summary
Float Trap = Steam trap that uses a ball float to automatically discharge condensate while trapping steam. Double Orifice = Two discharge holes for higher capacity and reliability. Forbes type design for proven performance. CI body for low pressure, WCB for higher pressure applications. Essential for efficient steam systems.

Key Specifications
How Float Trap Works
Condensate Enters
Water (condensate) from steam system enters the trap body and accumulates.
Float Rises
Ball float rises with water level, opening the discharge valve to release condensate.
Float Drops
When steam enters, float drops and closes valve, preventing steam loss.
Applications
Process Heating
Heat Exchangers
Textile Industry
Food Processing
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a float trap?
A float trap uses a ball float to automatically discharge condensate while trapping steam. When condensate accumulates, the float rises and opens the valve. When steam enters, the float drops and closes the valve.
What is double orifice?
Double orifice means two discharge holes instead of one. This provides higher capacity, better handling of varying loads, and continued operation if one orifice is blocked.
CI vs WCB - which to choose?
CI (Cast Iron) is economical for low-pressure steam up to 10 kg/cm². WCB (Carbon Steel) handles higher pressures up to 25 kg/cm² and is more durable for critical applications.
