Spirax-Sarco B1H-180 Inverted Bucket Steam Trap Overview
The Spirax-Sarco B1H-180 (SKU 64163) is a 3/4″ inverted bucket steam trap rated for 180 PSI service, engineered to provide dependable condensate drainage and air venting in industrial and commercial steam systems. Spirax-Sarco is a globally recognized leader in steam system solutions, and the B1H series reflects their commitment to durability, efficiency, and long service life.
How Inverted Bucket Traps Work
Inverted bucket steam traps operate on the principle of buoyancy. When steam enters the trap body, the inverted bucket floats upward and closes the discharge valve, preventing steam loss. As condensate accumulates, the bucket loses buoyancy and sinks, opening the valve to discharge condensate and non-condensable gases. This simple, robust mechanism results in minimal moving parts and outstanding reliability.
