Hoffman 404242 - Model FT015X-8 In-Line Float and Thermostatic Trap, 2"

Maintain consistent heat transfer and system efficiency with the Hoffman 404242 (model FT015X-8), a robust 2-inch in-line float and thermostatic steam trap. This unit is specifically engineered for high-capacity condensate drainage in steam-to-liquid heat exchangers and heavy-duty heating equipment, preventing water hammer and ensuring that steam remains dry and effective throughout your piping network.

The mechanism utilizes a sensitive, pressure-balanced thermostatic element alongside a heavy-duty float valve. As condensate enters the trap, the float rises to open the discharge valve, while the thermostatic element simultaneously vents non-condensable gases such as air and carbon dioxide to prevent system air-binding.

Key System Performance Baselines:

• Continuous Discharge: Designed for efficient, non-blocking removal of condensate.
• Air Handling Capability: Integrated thermostatic vent provides rapid startup and removal of trapped air.
• Durable Construction: Engineered to withstand the rigors of industrial steam pressures and cycles.
• In-Line Maintenance: Simplified design allows for efficient servicing within existing piping layouts.

⚠️ Application Profile: Ideal for steam mains, unit heaters, blast coils, and large heat exchangers in commercial, institutional, and industrial boiler environments.
