1" Thermostatic BiMetallic Socket Weld Steam Trap (Repairable) BM300S-14-SW

Product Information

Specification

Description:

The BM300 is a medium-capacity bi-metallic steam trap designed for use in applications such as drip trapping on superheated steam mains, steam supply lines, saturated steam lines, and steam tracing systems. Its bi-metallic mechanism subcools condensate prior to discharge, promoting energy-efficient operation and reducing steam loss. Made from forged carbon steel, the BM300 features a fully repairable internal assembly, allowing maintenance without the need to remove the trap from the pipeline—making it highly convenient and serviceable. As a thermostatic trap, it offers a compact, lightweight design with excellent air discharge capability, enabling it to function as a low-capacity air vent. This is particularly advantageous during system start-up, allowing air to be purged quickly so steam can fill the system efficiently. The trap’s durable bi-metal element is highly resistant to water hammer, ensuring long-term performance in tough environments. Additionally, the hardened plug includes a back-seating feature, serving as an internal check valve.

Features

• Hardened stainless steel seat for extended service life.
• Freeze-proof when trap is installed in a vertical orientation allowing for complete condensate drainage.
• The bi-metallic element and seat can be easily removed and replaced in minutes with the trap body still in-line.
• Excellent at discharging air, which allows steam to enter quickly; extremely important during start-up.
• Rugged stainless steel bi-metal element resists shock from waterhammer.
• Includes integral strainer with optional blowdown valve Standard factory-set subcool is 25°F but is also field-adjustable  for optimum performance and energy savings.
