PT Series 46-TT bimetal trap with compression tube fittings

Simpler tube tracing installation

The PT Series 46-TT Tube Tracing Bimetal Trap is specifically designed for steam tracing applications. Both ends of the trap come fitted with compression tube fittings, which simplifies installation in several ways:

  • Removes the need to install tube-to-male NPT fittings in the field.
  • No more crimped or bent tubes from the high torque required to tighten piped joints in the field.
  • Eliminates two unnecessary steam leak paths at the pipe joints between tube and pipe fittings, and the need for messy Teflon tape or pipe sealant.
  • Leak-free trap installation takes less than five minutes.

Design features

The Series 46-TT is backed by the proven field reliability of standard PT Series 46 Bimetal Steam Traps:

  • 300 psig and 750 °F operating pressure and temperature.
  • Subcooled condensate discharge, eliminating steam loss and maximizing energy efficiency.
  • Large orifice coupled with back-seated valve, ensuring optimum dirt and particle handling.
  • Bimetal operating principle, providing self-venting, freeze proofing, resistance to water hammer and superheating, and fail-open safe operation.

All of these features come in a single, compact, all stainless steel trap, available with 1⁄4", 3⁄8" and 1⁄2" tube fitting ends, and backed by an industry-first, full five-year manufacturer's warranty against workmanship and functional defects.
