Description
The Watts F163720 is a 1-inch bronze float and thermostatic (F&T) steam trap from the proven 40XVL-4 series, engineered for dependable condensate removal in commercial and industrial steam heating systems. With a bronze body construction and ratings of 125 PSI and 210°F, this trap delivers long-lasting performance in demanding hydronic and steam distribution applications.
Product Overview
Float and thermostatic steam traps continuously discharge condensate as it forms while venting air and non-condensable gases at startup and during operation. The 40XVL-4 design features a free-float mechanism that modulates condensate discharge in direct response to load, preventing steam loss and maximizing system efficiency. The fail-safe (FS) designation ensures the trap defaults to an open position upon failure, protecting equipment from damaging condensate backup.
