Illinois 0038100 Assembly
The Illinois 0038100 Assembly is a specialized Sarco 3/4" FT-15 replacement cover assembly designed for high-performance condensate management in steam systems. This complete float and thermostatic steam trap repair kit allows for rapid in-line servicing without disturbing existing piping, ensuring your Spirax Sarco FT-15 maintains its optimal discharge capacity. Engineered with a cast iron cover and robust stainless steel internals, this replacement module features a balanced pressure thermostatic air vent to optimize heat transfer by efficiently removing non-condensable gases. By restoring the continuous condensate drainage capabilities of your 3/4-inch trap, this assembly prevents water hammer and mitigates energy loss in radiators, heat exchangers, and unit heaters. The trap mechanism utilizes a water-sealed float-operated valve for immediate response to condensate loads, specifically rated for systems up to 15 PSIG. This proactive maintenance component ensures your HVACR and industrial steam equipment operates at peak thermal efficiency under fluctuating loads.
Key Benefits- Complete Pre-Assembled Module: Includes cover, stainless steel float, valve mechanism, and thermostatic air vent for a drop-in 15-minute repair.
- Superior Air Handling: Equipped with a thermostatic cage unit that automatically discharges air at steam temperature to prevent air binding.
- Corrosion-Resistant Internals: Features a stainless steel valve plug and float arm to withstand rigorous industrial steam environments.
- Simplified Maintenance: Fully serviceable head assembly allows for easy inspection and replacement of worn seats without removing the trap body.
- Is this assembly compatible with other pressure ratings? This unit is specifically calibrated for the FT-15 series and should not be used on FT-30, FT-75, or FT-125 traps which require different orifice sizes.
- Does the kit include a replacement gasket? Yes, this Illinois 0038100 assembly is supplied with a new cover gasket to ensure a leak-proof seal during reinstallation.
- Will this improve my system's energy efficiency? By replacing a failed float mechanism, you eliminate steam blow-through and ensure only condensate is discharged, significantly reducing fuel costs.
