Inverted Bucket Steam Trap Ductile Iron Industrial Steam Trap

Ductile Iron Inverted Bucket For Steam System Trap Metal Valve Industrial Valves

The inverted bucket steam trap works on the principle of buoyancy + lever:

• When condensate enters the valve body, the inverted bucket sinks, and the drain port is opened to drain
• When steam enters, the inverted bucket floats due to the low steam density, closes the drain port, and prevents steam leakage
• Efficiently removes condensate, reduces steam waste, and maintains the thermal efficiency of the system

• Top valve cover with multiple bolts for easy maintenance
• Middle valve body accommodates the inverted bucket and other core components
• Side interface for pipe connection (threaded or flanged)
• Bottom small valve for manual drainage or repair

Compared with float type and thermal power steam traps, the advantages of the inverted bucket type are:

• Strong water hammer resistance (stable inverted bucket structure)
• Air can be discharged (avoid system air blockage)
• Sensitive to installation angle (must be installed vertically for proper inverted bucket movement)
