The Thermostatic Bimetallic Steam Trap BK45 is used for low capacity applications such as drip and tracing, and economically combines steam trap, check valve and Y-Strainer (with optional blow off valve) in a small profile with a convenient 2-bolt cover for easy maintenance.

Features and Benefits.

1.Forged steel body and cover.
2.Pressure assisted fail-open design.
3.Factory-preset bimetallic regulator with integral staged nozzle. No adjustment required.
4.Discharges hot condensate in a modulating fashion at approximately 18°F (10°C) below saturation temperature throughout its operating range. One internal regulator for all pressure ranges.
5.Unaffected by water hammer or superheat-solid stainless steel internals.
6.Self draining - will not freeze when installed in gravity drainage position.
7.Automatically vents air and non-condensable gases and has a high (6:1) cold water capacity for rapid start-up.
8.Operates with zero steam loss throughout its operating range saving steam and money during the life of the trap.
9.Easy in-line inspection and maintenance - mechanical stops prevent crushing of the gasket for extended gasket life.
10.Can be installed in any position.
11.Internal stainless steel Y-strainer, with optional blowoff valve.
12.Integral check valve design.
