Series G, MG
Float & Thermostatic Steam Traps
Sizes: 3 ⁄

" – 2" (20 – 50mm)
For operating pressures up to 50psi (3.5 bars)
Series G, MG Float & Thermostatic Steam Traps are designed
for use on modulating process equipment and as main distribu-
tion line drip traps. Series G, MG Float & Thermostatic steam
traps feature a straight through design for fast simple installation.
Stainless steel valve head and seats provide long service life.
G, MG series steam traps have excellent air venting capability
and discharge condensate at near to steam temperature so
the steam space remains free of condensate providing
improved steam system efficiency.
Features
• Fail safe — In case of float failure, trap will discharge
condensate and air; no unit freeze-up
• Air vent parts — accessible without disturbing piping
• Inlet baffle — breaks up water hammer; prevents
damage to parts
• Snap action valve — no wire-drawing or valve chatter
• Two moving parts — no levers, hinges or pins to corrode
or jam
• Straight-through connections — saves installation time,
labor, space, headroom
• Stainless steel valve head and seats
• Seamless copper float — no seams to develop leaks
• Uniform operations — not affected by changes in load
or pressures
• Condensate valve rotates — ensures even wear, longer
valve and seat life
Applications
• Steam coils
• Unit heaters
• Drip points
• Heat exchangers
• Water heaters
• Absorption machines
• Unit ventilators
• Air handlers
• Make-up air coils
• Re-heat coils
• Jacketed kettles
