Maintain peak thermal efficiency in your steam heating systems with the Hoffman 404351, also designated as model B2015B-3. This high-quality 3/4" inverted bucket steam trap is engineered to provide reliable, continuous condensate removal, preventing water hammer and heat transfer loss in demanding HVAC and industrial process environments.
The inverted bucket mechanism operates on a buoyancy principle: as condensate enters the trap, the bucket remains buoyant, keeping the discharge valve closed. Once steam enters, the bucket loses buoyancy and sinks, pulling the linkage to open the valve and flush the accumulated condensate. This simple yet robust design ensures consistent drainage even under varying load conditions.
Key System Performance Baselines:
- Durable Construction: Engineered for longevity in harsh industrial steam environments.
- Precise Drainage: Float-linked valve mechanism ensures steam remains trapped while condensate is evacuated.
- HVAC Compatibility: Optimized for standard 3/4" piping configurations used in facility steam applications.
⚠️ Application Profile: Recommended for use in hospital steam distribution, industrial steam heaters, laundry processing equipment, and heavy-duty commercial heating coils.
