REASONS PLENTY STEAM TRAPS ARE LEADERS IN THEIR FIELD
- Valve Seats Are Stellited Valve seats are subject to an abnormally high degree of wear through velocity of flow, dirt & scale. Plenty Steam Traps valve assemblies are stellite faced & resist wiredrawing better than any hardened stainless steel.
- Steam Savings on Tracing Plenty Type TS are designed to discharge cooler condensate, thereby utilizing the sensible heat in the condensate and reducing steam consumption by as much as 25% on steam tracing and instrumentation service
- Integral Strainer Plenty uses stainless steel perforated strainers on most models to protect the trap operating mechanism from damage by dirt or scale. No extra fittings or installation costs.
- Positive Closing Every Plenty trap closes tightly on Saturated Steam Temperature. Positive closing for long periods on dry superheated steam lines has definite advantages in Power Plant & Marine Service.
- Freezeproof Installation Plenty traps do not require a resevoir of priming water in the body to operate, they drain completely when cold, therefore , are freezeproof when installed vertically, discharging down.
- Stainless Steel Bimetal Plenty traps utilize a bimetal cage unit element with element, valve & seat combined in one factory assembled & tested unit. Repalce all wearing parts in less than one minute in the line.
- Integral Check Valve Plenty traps require NO additional fitting to prevent backflow, the downstream valve is free floating and will close on as little as 1/4 PSI differential pressure.
- Air Venting Plenty high capacity air venting means faster warm-up and greater heat transfer. No seperate device is required to guard against air binding.
- Forged Steel Bodies The superiority of forgings for steam service is universally recognized and a quality feature of Plenty Steel Models.
- Spherical Valve The multi-purpose function of the discharge valve commands the finest material to assure long service life. Chrome Steel 440c hardened to Rc62, and mirror ground to .00003 spherical tolerance is used in every trap for 25 to 2500 PSIG.
