Float and Thermostatic Trap. This type of trap is used to drain condensate from blast heaters, steam heating coils, unit heaters and other apparatus. This combination trap is used where there is a large volume of condensate which would not permit proper operation of a thermostatic trap. Float and thermostatic traps are used in low pressure heating systems up to a maximum of 15 psi. For medium and high pressure systems, the same limitations as outlined for thermostatic traps apply. 5, record 1, English, - float%20and%20thermostatic%20trap
