Illinois 0037100 Steam Trap
The Illinois 0037100, also identified as the Watts WFT-15, is a heavy-duty 3/4" float and thermostatic steam trap engineered for reliable condensate removal and continuous air venting in low-pressure systems. Featuring a rugged cast iron body and an H-pattern design, this trap is specifically built for steam main drips, unit heaters, and heat exchangers where rapid air elimination is critical during startup. The internal stainless steel float and thermostatic air vent ensure precise operation at a 15 PSI maximum pressure, while the water hammer resistant construction protects the mechanism from high-velocity condensate surges. Designed for versatile installation, its universal 4-port design allows for simplified piping configurations. This F&T steam trap provides the balanced pressure thermostatic element required to prevent air binding, maintaining high thermal efficiency across HVACR and process applications. For technicians, the unit is fully field-serviceable without disturbing the existing system piping, ensuring minimal downtime during routine maintenance.
- Optimized Heat Transfer: The balanced pressure thermostatic element provides instantaneous discharge of non-condensable gases, preventing air binding in air heating coils.
- Durable Internals: Equipped with a stainless steel valve head, seat, and float to resist corrosion and erosion in harsh steam heating environments.
- Installation Flexibility: The 3/4 inch NPT threaded connections and 4-port H-pattern layout simplify replacement in tight mechanical rooms.
- Mechanical Reliability: High water hammer resistance prevents premature failure of the float mechanism in systems prone to pressure surges.
- Standardized Performance: Rated for a maximum operating temperature of 353°F and a 15 PSI working limit, perfect for low-pressure steam returns.
Common Questions
What are the primary applications for the Illinois 0037100 F&T trap?
This trap is best suited for steam main drips, unit heaters, reboilers, and heat exchangers where large volumes of air must be vented during startup and condensate must be removed continuously.
Can I service this trap without removing it from the line?
Yes, the WFT-15 design allows for the removal of the cover and internal assembly for cleaning or steam trap repair without disconnecting the inlet or outlet piping.
Is this model compatible with vacuum steam systems?
The Illinois 0037100 is designed for 15# F&T service and is frequently utilized in systems operating under vacuum to ensure sub-cooling and effective condensate management.
