FREE FLOAT
STEAM TRAP
MODEL

SJ6FX

FREE FLOAT STEAM TRAP WITH THERMOSTATIC AIR VENTING

Features
Inline repairable multi-purpose steam trap
with tight shut-off for use with heat exchangers,
tank heaters, dryers and process equipment.
1. Thermostatic X-element with fail-open
feature vents air automatically at close-tosteam temperature.
2. Only one moving part, the free float,
eliminates concentrated valve wear and
provides long maintenance-free service life.
3. Easy, inline access to internal parts simplifies
cleaning and reduces maintenance cost.
4. Two built-in screens with large surface area
ensure extended trouble-free operation.
5. Self-modulating free float provides continuous, smooth, low velocity condensate
discharge as process loads vary.

Pressure Differential (bar)

1 bar = 0.1 MPa

1. Line numbers within the graph refer to orifice numbers.

2. Differential pressure is the difference between the inlet and outlet pressure of the trap.
3. Capacities are based on continuous discharge of condensate 6 C below saturated steam temperature.
4. Recommended safety factor: at least 1.5.

CAUTION
Standard

DO NOT use traps under conditions which exceed maximum differential pressure,
as condensate backup will occur!
