Spirax-Sarco 57063 Trap

For high-performance condensate management in low-pressure steam systems, the Spirax-Sarco 57063 (Model FT-15) is a heavy-duty 2-inch float and thermostatic steam trap designed for continuous condensate discharge. Built with a rugged ASTM A126 Class B cast iron body and all stainless steel internals, this parallel-connection trap identifies and handles varying loads without the risk of air binding. It features an integral balanced pressure thermostatic air vent that rapidly evacuates non-condensable gases during startup, ensuring your heat exchangers and unit heaters reach operating temperature efficiently. Rated for a 15 psig maximum operating pressure and 450°F maximum temperature, this 2" NPT trap provides a high discharge capacity of up to 10,900 lb/hr. Professionals choose the Spirax-Sarco FT-15 for its inline maintainability; the internal mechanism can be fully serviced or replaced without breaking the secondary piping connections, minimizing downtime for specialized HVACR and process applications.

• Optimized Heat Transfer: The modulating float mechanism ensures condensate is removed at steam temperature, preventing waterlogging in process heat exchangers.
• Stainless Steel Durability: Equipped with stainless steel ball floats, valve heads, and seats to resist corrosion and water hammer damage.
• Rapid System Startup: The thermostatic air vent remains open until steam temperature is reached, purging air that otherwise creates insulating barriers.
• Serviceable Design: Parallel FNPT connections allow for comprehensive steam trap maintenance and inspection without removing the main body from the line.

• Can the FT-15 handle back pressure? Yes, this mechanical steam trap will operate against any back pressure lower than the inlet pressure, though the differential determines the final capacity.
• What applications suit a 2-inch F&T trap? It is ideal for modulating temperature control valves, large unit heaters, air coils, and steam main drip stations.
• Is this trap resistant to air binding? Absolutely; the integral air vent is specifically designed to eliminate air binding, a common failure point in standard mechanical traps.
