Spirax Sarco FTS14 Austenitic Stainless Steel Ball Float Steam Trap

Description

The Spirax Sarco FTS14 austenitic stainless steel float steam trap with built-in automatic air venting valve effectively removes condensate and removes air, ensuring that process equipment operates at maximum efficiency. The standard FTS14 is installed horizontally with a right-to-left flow direction (R-L), and can be converted to a left-to-right installation (L-R) or a vertical installation with an upward or downward flow direction by simply rotating the bonnet.

Standards and Certificates

• Complies with the European Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC.
• EN 10204 3.1 certificate available (to be specified when ordering).
