Spirax-Sarco 1440080 Assembly

The Spirax-Sarco 1440080 Mechanism Assembly is a critical replacement component for 1/2-inch and 3/4-inch FT14 float and thermostatic steam traps. As a veteran-grade repair kit, this assembly includes the 1440080 stainless steel float and the high-precision level mechanism engineered specifically for 65 PSI (4.5 bar) maximum differential pressure applications. In industrial steam systems, maintaining the integrity of the float mechanism is essential for continuous condensate discharge without the risk of steam loss. This assembly is fully compatible with the FT14, FT14C, and IFT14 series, ensuring a drop-in fit that allows for "in-line" maintenance without disturbing your existing pipework. The robust stainless steel construction resists corrosion and water hammer, providing the reliable modulated discharge required for process equipment like heat exchangers and unit heaters. By restoring the valve seat and float lever functionality, technicians can ensure the trap maintains its integral automatic air venting capability, which is vital for efficient system start-ups and optimal thermal performance in saturated steam service.

• Direct Compatibility: Designed specifically for 1/2" and 3/4" Spirax-Sarco FT14, FT14C, and IFT14 trap bodies.
• Optimized for 65 PSI: Precision-weighted float and lever calibrated for 4.5 bar maximum operating pressure (PMO) to ensure tight shut-off.
• Stainless Steel Internals: High-grade stainless steel components provide superior resistance to erosion and chemical attack.
• Streamlined Maintenance: Allows for total internal overhaul without removing the trap body from the steam line.
• Reliable Condensate Drainage: Enhances the trap\'s ability to handle fluctuating loads and provide modulated discharge at steam temperature.

What is the maximum differential pressure for the 1440080 assembly?
This mechanism is rated for a maximum differential pressure of 65 PSI (4.5 bar). Installing this in a system with a higher differential pressure will prevent the trap from opening against the pressure, leading to condensate backup.

Is the air vent assembly included with this part number?
The 1440080 is the main valve mechanism assembly with float. While it supports the operation of the trap, the thermostatic air vent capsule is typically a separate maintenance item, though both work in tandem within the FT14 housing.

Can I use this assembly for IFT14 series traps?
Yes, the 1440080 is the correct genuine Spirax-Sarco replacement part for both the standard FT14 and the investment cast IFT14 models in the 1/2" and 3/4" sizes.
