FT43, FT44, FT46 and FT47 Ball Float Steam Traps
Pressure/temperature limits
The product must not be used in this region.
This product should not be used in this region as damage to the air vent may occur.
A - B Flanged EN 1092 PN40 and ASME (ANSI) 300.
A - C Flanged ASME (ANSI) 150.
Note: The use of the bimetallic element extends the superheat resistance to in excess of 400 °C.

Designed for a maximum cold hydraulic test pressure: 60 bar g (870 psi g)
Note: With internals fitted, test pressure must not exceed: 48 bar g (696 psi g)
Caution: The trap in its complete operational form must not be subjected to a pressure greater than 48 bar
otherwise damage to the internal mechanism may result.
