DRIP, TRACING: Designed to work as a drip trap for the
draining of condensate from steam mains and other steam
supply lines, the UTD450 Thermodynamic Steam Trap Module
can be used anywhere conventional thermodynamic steam traps
are used. Can also be used on tracing applications. This model is
only recommended for horizontal piping installations to allow the
cap to be oriented upwards.
The UTD450 mounts to any
2-bolt Quick-Change Universal Connector.
The UTD450 is recommended for horizontal piping only so that
cap can be oriented upwards, as shown.
• Trap module can be easily removed and replaced in minutes without having to disconnect any piping
• Trap modules can be used with most manufacturers’ 2-bolt universal connector
• All stainless steel construction with hardened seat
The UC450 universal connector is permanently installed into
the pipeline where the steam trap would normally be placed.
The trap module, which functions like any thermodynamic
steam trap, is fastened to the universal connector with two bolts.
When a new trap module is needed, it can be easily removed
and replaced with a standard open-end or socket wrench
without disturbing the existing piping.
Selection / Sizing / Capacities Connector selection to use with the UTD450: UC450 (no strainer), UC450S (strainer), UC450SB (strainer and blowdown). Select this model for steam systems with maximum working pressure of 450 PSIG.
Universal Connectors are available with an integral strainer
and blowdown valve. Connector is purchased separately.
See the UC450 Universal Connectors section for more information.
Installation and Maintenance The UTD450 Trap module was intended for horizontal piping
installations so the trap can be installed with cap facing upwards.
Trap module is attached to the connector using two bolts. If the
trap fails for any reason, replace only the trap module. When
a new trap module is needed, it can be easily removed and
replaced with a standard open-end or socket wrench without
disturbing the existing piping.
The steam trap module shall be designed to attach to the
industry standard two-bolt universal connector. Trap module
shall be of a thermodynamic design. Universal connector shall
conform to the two bolt industry standard with integral strainer
and blowdown options.
