Hoffman Specialty 404360 Steam Trap

The Hoffman Specialty 404360, recognized as the Model B2125A-3, is a heavy-duty Series B2 Inverted Bucket Steam Trap designed for rigorous industrial and HVAC condensate management. Built with a rugged cast iron body and high-grade stainless steel internal components, this horizontal in-line trap excels in applications requiring the rapid venting of air and non-condensable gases. With a 3/4" NPT connection and a precision-engineered .203" orifice, it is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 125 PSI and temperatures up to 450°F. This inverted bucket trap is a preferred choice for steam main drip traps, heat exchangers, and laundry equipment due to its ability to handle dirt and operate effectively against back pressure. The leverage system utilizes the buoyancy of the bucket to provide a positive shut-off, ensuring maximum system thermal efficiency by keeping steam spaces free of condensate even under light load conditions. For technicians replacing older units, the Series B2 serves as a reliable direct replacement for the legacy Hoffman Model 602.

• High-Pressure Durability: Optimized for 125 PSI seat differential pressure, ensuring stable performance in high-demand process environments.
• Corrosion Resistance: Features all-stainless steel internals and an erosion-resistant cover to increase service life in harsh condensate conditions.
• Maintenance Efficiency: The in-line horizontal design with a removable cover allows for rapid inspection and internal cleaning without breaking pipe connections.
• Exceptional Air Handling: Naturally purges air and non-condensable gases during start-up, preventing air binding and ensuring rapid system warm-up.
• Versatile Application: Ideal for industrial steam traps used in food processing, dry cleaning, and syphon/tilting kettle setups.

What is the maximum condensate capacity for the Model B2125A-3?
This specific Hoffman Specialty steam trap is rated for a maximum capacity of approximately 2,100 lbs/hr, making it suitable for medium to large-scale heat exchange equipment.

Can this trap be used in systems with a lift in the discharge line?
Yes, the Series B2 cast iron trap is designed to operate against back pressure and is frequently utilized in applications where condensate must be lifted to a return line.

Does the trap require priming before it is put into service?
As with most inverted bucket steam traps, the body must be manually primed with water during initial start-up to create the necessary water seal for the bucket to float correctly.
