This robust 2-inch float and thermostatic steam trap is engineered to provide continuous drainage of condensate while simultaneously venting air and non-condensable gases from your steam piping and equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOperating through a precision-balanced float mechanism, the trap responds instantly to changes in condensate levels. As condensate enters the trap, the stainless steel float rises, opening the valve seat to discharge the water. The integrated thermostatic element ensures rapid air discharge upon startup, preventing air binding and ensuring your steam system achieves operating temperature without delay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey System Performance Baselines:\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eContinuous Drainage:\u003c\/b\u003e Maintains optimal heat transfer by ensuring condensate does not back up into the heat exchanger.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAir Handling:\u003c\/b\u003e Features a built-in thermostatic bellows that efficiently vents non-condensable gases.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOperational Versatility:\u003c\/b\u003e Designed for heavy-duty steam service where consistent thermal performance is required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHigh Capacity:\u003c\/b\u003e Engineered to handle substantial condensate loads common in industrial and commercial steam heating applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e⚠️ \u003cstrong\u003eApplication Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ideal for steam unit heaters, air handling coils, large heat exchangers, and industrial steam headers where reliable, automatic condensate removal is critical for system longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hoffman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43128829673566,"sku":"401890","price":1542.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/7151\/8558\/files\/401890_image_6bd2bc3d-dbf1-41a7-af32-4e6a6d71dd7c.png?v=1786070499","url":"https:\/\/nationalboilersupply.com\/products\/hoffman-401890-ft075c-8-2-float-thermostatic-steam-trap","provider":"National Boiler Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
