Armstrong 1810/1811/1822 1800 Series Inverted Bucket Steam Traps

Product Overview

Armstrong 1810/1811/1822 Inverted Bucket Steam Traps are all stainless steel products featuring horizontal installation with side inlet/side outlet design. This series can quickly and easily replace other types of side inlet/side outlet steam traps in the pipeline, incorporating all the core advantages of inverted bucket steam traps.

The compact side inlet/side outlet design makes these traps highly efficient in various applications including tracer lines, drip legs, heating, and process applications. Available with threaded, socket weld, and flanged (carbon steel) connections to meet different installation requirements.

The inverted bucket trap's orifice is located at the top of the valve, providing superior dirt and rust handling capability compared to other trap types. However, in applications with heavy contamination, caution should be exercised when using models with smaller orifices that may affect capacity.

Key Features

  • Long service life and high reliability for demanding operating conditions
  • Excellent dirt handling capability for easy maintenance and reduced debris accumulation
  • Continuous air venting to effectively remove air from the system and prevent air binding
  • Flexible installation with horizontal mounting suitable for various piping layouts and three connection options
  • All stainless steel construction with excellent corrosion and high temperature resistance
