About:

The IB Series inverted bucket steam traps are commonly used in drip applications to remove condensate from steam mains and steam supply lines. One of their key advantages is the placement of the discharge orifice at the top of the trap body, which makes them less vulnerable to failure caused by dirt and debris compared to other trap types. However, inverted bucket traps have limited air-handling capabilities. As a result, they are suitable for certain process applications—such as unit heaters and laundry equipment—where rapid air discharge during system start-up is not critical. For systems that require quick and efficient air removal, Float and Thermostatic (F&T) traps are the preferred choice.
