Spirax-Sarco 55479 Gasket Kit
The Spirax-Sarco 55479 Gasket Kit is a vital maintenance solution for 2-inch float and thermostatic steam traps, specifically engineered for FT-20 and FTB-20/175 configurations. This professional-grade steam trap repair kit includes high-integrity sealing components designed to handle the thermal expansion and high-pressure environments common in HVAC steam system maintenance. By replacing worn seals with the Spirax-Sarco 55479, technicians can effectively eliminate bypass leaks, ensuring the trap maintains its ability to discharge condensate without losing live steam. These gaskets are fabricated from heavy-duty materials compatible with industrial steam trap applications, providing the structural resilience required for long-term cycling. Utilizing genuine Spirax-Sarco 55479 replacement parts ensures that the cover-to-body interface remains airtight, preserving the differential pressure balance required for the internal float mechanism to function at peak efficiency. For contractors managing large-scale mechanical rooms, keeping these kits on hand is essential for rapid response during scheduled outages or emergency steam leak repairs.
