Lever Float Steam Trap
High Efficiency Continuous Condensate Discharge for Industrial Steam Systems
A Lever Float Steam Trap is a mechanical steam trap designed to discharge condensate continuously as it forms while preventing the loss of live steam. Using the buoyancy of a stainless steel float connected to a lever mechanism, the valve opens automatically when condensate enters the trap and closes tightly when steam reaches the valve seat.
This type of steam trap is widely used in industries requiring stable heating performance, including food processing, pharmaceuticals, textiles, paper mills, chemical plants, refineries, breweries, and HVAC systems.
Product Features
Continuous Condensate Discharge
Unlike intermittent steam traps, the lever float steam trap removes condensate continuously without causing temperature fluctuations, ensuring maximum heat transfer efficiency.
Excellent Steam Saving
The precision-machined valve seat and stainless steel float provide excellent sealing performance, minimizing valuable steam loss.
High Condensate Capacity
Capable of handling large condensate loads, making it ideal for heat exchangers, steam coils, dryers, reactors, and process equipment.
Automatic Air Venting
Many models include a built-in thermostatic air vent that automatically removes air during startup, allowing equipment to reach operating temperature quickly.
Long Service Life
Constructed from durable materials such as ductile iron, carbon steel, stainless steel, or forged steel for reliable long-term operation.
Low Maintenance
Simple internal structure with few moving parts reduces maintenance costs and downtime.
Water Hammer Resistance
Designed to withstand vibration and water hammer common in industrial steam systems.
Wide Pressure Range
Available for low, medium, and high-pressure steam applications.
