Description
The Watts F259705 is a 1-inch Float & Thermostatic (F&T) Steam Trap from the Watts 140X series, designed to deliver efficient, continuous condensate discharge in steam heating and process systems. Combining a float mechanism for liquid condensate removal with a thermostatic air vent for non-condensable gas purging, this trap ensures maximum system efficiency and protects equipment from waterlogging and steam loss.
Product Overview
The 140X-6 float & thermostatic steam trap is engineered for dependable performance in commercial and industrial hydronic steam systems. The float element responds instantly to condensate levels, opening the discharge valve as condensate accumulates and closing it when steam is present — preventing live steam loss. The integrated thermostatic air vent automatically purges air and CO₂ at startup and during operation, improving heat transfer and system response.
