The most reliable steam trap known—the inverted bucket—provides efficient Connections
condensate drainage of virtually all types of steam-using equipment. Put the Screwed NPT and BSPT
inverted bucket to work in a tough cast iron package, and you have the best
of both worlds. Because they operate efficiently for longer periods of time, Materials
Armstrong cast iron inverted buckets add solid energy savings to lower

the valve against system pressure. The mechanism is free-floating, and has
no fixed pivots to create wear or friction.
Options
Because the mechanism is located at the top of the trap, no dirt can collect • Stainless steel internal check valve
on the orifice. Small particles of dirt are held in suspension until discharged • Thermic vent bucket
by the full differential purging action when the bucket sinks, pulling the valve • Scrub wire
off the seat.
Specification
The discharge orifice is surrounded by a water seal, preventing live steam Inverted bucket steam trap, type ... in cast iron, with continuous air venting

Inverted bucket traps drain continuously, although discharging intermittently,

allowing no condensate backup. They are also resistant to water hammer.
