relieves this condensate through its internal pilot while keeping the steam blanket from escaping. Overflow can occur if the
water entering the tank exceeds its capacity. The 313 Overflow Trap relieves the overflow through its internal single seated
main stage valve. Buoyancy of the overflow trap’s internal float ball provides force to actuate the internal pilot operated
single seated valve assembly to relieve condensate and overflow to drain. It is normal for condensate to intermittently flash
to steam as it is relieved to the drain. Steam from the steam blanket however should not be continuously exiting the overflow
trap to the drain.
