- Y-Type Cast Iron Strainers
250 lb Screwed 1/2"-3" Class 125 Flanged 2"-6" Class 250 Flanged 2"-6"
Screen chambers won't leak or crush
Both ends of the chambers are precisely machined. This means perfectly round and smooth seating surfaces, as well as a fixed chamber length. Since the screen seats snugly on the machined surface, no particle bigger than the screen opening can escape around the end of the screen.
Screwed retainers easy in, easy out
Straight threads mean it takes less torque to achieve a tight seal with proper gasket compression. Less torque is also required to remove the retainer. For you, that means less danger of "freezing in" than with hard-to-break tapered pipe threads.
Off-center blowdown connections for better dirt removal
Off-center drains on 2-1/2" and 3" strainers allow you to remove liquid and dirt nearly completely when blowing down the strainer. Also, less liquid will spill when the screen retainer is removed.
Many screen choices
Many screen materials, meshes and perforations are available

- CD-33 Series Disc Steam TrapFor steam service up to 600 psig (42 barg)
Capacities to 2,500 lb/hr (1,134 kg/hr).
The Armstrong CD-33 is a disc-style trap designed to control the traps cycle rate. By reducing the cycle rate, the Armstrong CD-33 extends its service life well beyond that of typical disc traps. This enhanced performance minimizes maintenance time and greatly reduces steam costs.
The CD-33 is designed with three discharge ports, which offer stable disc operation to extend operating life. The capacities of the Armstrong CD-33 have been engineered specifically for the following applications large steam main drips, process equipment and HVAC heating equipment on constant pressure.
The CD-33L (low capacity) trap is designed for the low capacity applications of steam main drips and steam tracing lines. By ensuring that the capacities are designed to suit the applicationand are not oversizedthe CD-33 Series will last longer than other disc traps with excessive capacity ratings. Heres why
• Three-discharge port design
• Minimum wear with controlled cycling
• Freeze resistant
• Hardened seat and disc

- Thermostatic Wafer Steam TrapsArmstrong offers several thermostatic wafer steam traps. The WT-1 is ideal for low-capacity steam tracers and features an exclusive non-welded wafer design, a sealed stainless steel body and an internal strainer screen two to three times larger than that of other thermostatic traps. Choose from NPT or BSPT screwed connections.
The WT-2000 is adaptable to a 360 connector to expand piping options and simplify installation. Choose NPT or BSPT screwed or socketweld connections. The WT-2000 is also available for use on the IS-2 stainless steel connector with integral strainer. It can also be used with the TVS 4000.
Armstrongs WT-3 is a carbon steel thermostatic wafer trap for superheated drip service. It features an exclusive non-welded wafer design, which eliminates problems associated with weld stress. The WT-3 has no thin-walled enclosures such as bellows or welded diaphragms. It is also resistant to water hammer. Choose NPT or BSPT screwed or socketweld connections.
The Series MT from Armstrong is sized precisely to accommodate the extremely low condensate loads found in most instrument steam tracer lines.
NOTE Since the normal operation of all suppressed temperature-discharge (subcooling) steam traps is to back up condensate, they should not be used on drip legs for saturated steam service, heating or process equipment. Exercise care in the maintenance of any thermostatic wafer trap with a small discharge area susceptible to clogging.

- Inverted Bucket Steam TrapsEnergy efficient because it's so reliable
The inverted bucket is the most reliable steam trap operating principle known. The heart of its simple design is a unique leverage system that multiplies the force provided by the bucket to open the valve against pressure.
Since the bucket is open at the bottom, it resists damage from water hammer, and wear points are heavily reinforced for long life. The inverted bucket has only two moving parts-the valve lever assembly and the bucket. That means no fixed points, no complicated linkage. Nothing to stick, bind or clog.
Conserves energy even in the presence of wear
Armstrong inverted bucket steam traps open and close based on the difference in density between condensate and steam-the inverted bucket principle. They open and close gently, minimizing wear. This simple fact means that inverted buckets are subject to less wear than some other types of traps.
In fact, as an Armstrong inverted bucket trap wears, its tight seal actually improves. The valve and seat of the Armstrong trap provide essentially line contact-resulting in a tight seal because the entire closing force is concentrated on one narrow seating ring.
An Armstrong inverted bucket steam trap continues to operate efficiently with use. Gradual wear slightly increases the diameter of the seat and alters the shape and diameter of the valve. But, as this occurs, a tight seal is still preserved-the ball merely seats itself more deeply.
Corrosion-resistant parts
The stainless steel valve and seat of the Armstrong inverted bucket steam trap are individually ground and lapped together in matched sets. All other working parts are wear- and corrosion-resistant stainless steel.
Venting of air and CO2
The Armstrong inverted bucket provides continuous automatic air and CO2 venting with no cooling lag or threat of air binding.
Operation against back pressure
The Armstrong inverted bucket has excellent performance against back pressure. It has no adverse effect on inverted bucket operation other than to reduce its capacity by the low differential. The bucket simply requires less force to pull the valve open and cycle the trap.
Freedom from dirt problems
Armstrong designed its inverted bucket to be virtually free of dirt problems. The valve and seat are at the top of the trap, far away from the larger particles of dirt, which fall to the bottom. Here, the up-and-down action of the bucket pulverizes them.
Since the valve of an inverted bucket is either fully closed or open, dirt particles pass freely. And the swift flow of condensate from under the bucket's edge creates a unique self-scrubbing action that sweeps dirt out of the trap.
