Spirax-Sarco 68568C UTD 52H High Capacity Thermodynamic Disc Steam Trap

Description

Overview

The Spirax-Sarco 68568C UTD 52H is a high capacity thermodynamic disc steam trap engineered for demanding steam system applications. Designed and manufactured by Spirax-Sarco — a world leader in steam management solutions — this trap delivers dependable, automatic condensate discharge while preventing live steam loss, protecting system efficiency and reducing energy costs.

How It Works

The UTD 52H operates on the thermodynamic disc principle. When condensate enters the trap, the disc lifts and allows discharge. As steam or flash steam follows, the pressure differential forces the disc closed, blocking steam passage. This simple, robust mechanism contains no bellows, floats, or levers, resulting in a highly reliable trap with minimal maintenance requirements.
