Spirax Sarco HP45 Bimetallic Steam Trap

The Spirax Sarco HP45 bimetallic steam trap is a forged steel thermostatic steam trap for high-pressure, high-temperature steam lines and process drainage, with inline maintainability, integral strainer, and adjustable condensate discharge temperature.

Spirax Sarco HP45 Bimetallic Steam Trap

Description ​

The Spirax Sarco HP45 bimetallic steam trap is made of forged steel and is designed for draining high-pressure, high-temperature steam lines and process equipment.

This thermostatic steam trap is specially designed for HP steam service and uses a reinforced stainless steel insert within the body, allowing inline repair. It operates without loss of live steam and quickly discharges air, non-condensable gases, and large quantities of cold water during start-up.

Normally open in the event of failure, the HP45 includes an integral strainer screen and an external adjustment device for setting condensate discharge temperature.
