Spirax-Sarco 55475 Gasket

Ensure a high-integrity seal for your steam distribution system with the Spirax-Sarco 55475 Gasket, engineered specifically for the F/FT Series float and thermostatic steam traps. This premium replacement gasket is a critical maintenance component for 3/4", 1", and 1-1/4" NPT trap bodies, including the FT-15, FT-30, and FT-75 models. Designed to withstand the demanding pressures of industrial process steam, it facilitates an airtight steam trap cover seal to prevent energy loss and maintain stable system pressure. Built with advanced materials that resist thermal degradation and oxidative scaling, the 55475 ensures long-term reliability in high-heat environments. For contractors and facilities technicians, this Spirax-Sarco replacement part provides exact dimensional tolerance, eliminating the risk of bypass or external leakage at the cover plate. Maintain the efficiency of your condensate management system by utilizing genuine components validated for precise HVACR technical specifications and pressure-rated performance.

• Precise Compatibility: Custom-engineered for Spirax-Sarco FT-15, FT-30, and FT-75 series traps in 3/4" to 1-1/4" sizes.
• Durable Material Composition: High-temperature resistant material prevents gasket blowout and ensures a reliable seal under variable pressure cycles.
• Optimized System Efficiency: Eliminates live steam leakage at the trap head, reducing boiler fuel consumption and operational costs.
• Streamlined Maintenance: Simplifies the reassembly of FA and FT series traps during routine internal cleanings or mechanism inspections.

Which steam trap models are compatible with the 55475 gasket?
This gasket is specifically designed for 3/4", 1", and 1-1/4" NPT Float and Thermostatic (F&T) steam traps, specifically the FT-15, FT-30, and FT-75 models. It is also utilized in some FA series air eliminator applications within the same size range.

Is this a single gasket or a full repair kit?
The 55475 part number typically refers to the individual cover gasket required for sealing the main trap body to the head assembly. For a full internal overhaul, a comprehensive mechanism kit may be required.

Why is replacing the gasket necessary during trap inspections?
Once the trap cover is removed for maintenance, the original gasket undergoes compression set and may be compromised. Replacing it with a new 55475 gasket ensures a leak-proof seal upon reassembly.
