Hoffman 401536 - Model 17C-A Angle-Pattern Thermostatic Trap, 1/2"

Efficient steam trap performance is critical for maintaining high thermal output and preventing water hammer in your heating system. The Hoffman 401536, part of the reputable 17C-A series, serves as a high-quality thermostatic trap designed to effectively manage condensate discharge while preventing steam loss. With its reliable angle pattern configuration and 1/2-inch connection, this unit is engineered for longevity and seamless integration into existing steam distribution headers or radiator piping.

This thermostatic trap operates using a pressure-sensitive thermal element that responds rapidly to temperature changes. When cooler condensate reaches the trap, the element retracts to open the valve, allowing water to drain. Once steam contacts the element, it expands to seal the valve tightly, ensuring that only non-condensable gases and water exit the system. This precision cycling helps optimize overall boiler fuel economy and system steam quality.

Key System Performance Baselines:

• Precision Thermal Response: Engineered for rapid cycling to prevent steam waste.
• Robust Construction: Designed to withstand the thermal stress of industrial and commercial steam environments.
• Streamlined Installation: Compact angle pattern allows for flexible piping configurations in tight spaces.

⚠️ Application Profile: Ideal for steam heating systems, radiator return lines, drip points on main steam lines, and commercial boiler equipment retrofits.
