Inverted Bucket Steam Trap – Flanged
Inverted Bucket Steam Trap – Flanged is a UTK-50 series inverted bucket steam trap. It discharges condensate as soon as it forms, which gives high heat efficiency, and its design resists water hammer.

How Does It Work?
When the bucket is full of steam it floats and closes the outlet. As condensate enters, the steam in the bucket condenses, the bucket sinks and opens the outlet to discharge condensate. When steam fills the bucket again, it rises and closes.
Applications
- Tanks
