Description
Xylem-Hoffman Specialty Series 8C Balanced Pressure Thermostatic Steam Trap
The Xylem-Hoffman Specialty 402002 (Model 8C-A-2-125) is a Series 8C Balanced Pressure Thermostatic Steam Trap engineered for reliable, energy-efficient condensate removal in steam distribution and process systems. Featuring a 1/2″ NPT angle pattern connection and a 125 PSI differential pressure rating, this trap is built to handle demanding commercial and industrial steam applications with precision and durability.
How It Works
The balanced pressure thermostatic element responds to temperature differences between steam and condensate. When condensate or air is present, the element contracts and opens the valve to discharge. As steam approaches, the element expands and closes the valve, preventing live steam loss. This self-regulating action ensures maximum system efficiency and minimizes energy waste.
