Mepco (Dunham Bush) C5838 Cap & Disc Assembly
The Mepco (Dunham Bush) C5838 Cap & Disc Assembly is a critical 1/2-inch replacement component engineered for thermostatic steam trap repair. Designed to restore precise condensate and air discharge, this 1E-CAP-DISC assembly is compatible with a wide range of Dunham Bush legacy hardware, including the 1B, 1C, 1E radiator trap, and the 30, 44, 46, and 48 series. As a veteran-grade steam trap repair kit, it features a high-sensitivity thermostatic disc and a rugged stainless steel construction capable of handling maximum operating pressures up to 25 psi and temperatures reaching 267°F. For contractors servicing older heating systems, this Mepco C5838 assembly ensures a positive-off seal to prevent steam loss into the return line, maintaining system vacuum and overall efficiency. Whether you are performing routine maintenance on fin tube heating or a full industrial steam trap overhaul, this genuine OEM-spec part provides the exact tolerance needed for reliable, long-term performance in demanding hydronic environments.
Key Benefits- Universal 1E Compatibility: Standardized fit for 1/2" Mepco and Dunham Bush 1E, 1B, 1C, D1, V1A, and V1B models.
- Steam Loss Prevention: The precision-calibrated thermostatic disc prevents live steam from escaping into the condensate return, significantly improving energy efficiency.
- Durable Construction: Built with high-grade stainless steel components to withstand corrosive condensate and thermal cycling.
- High-Pressure Tolerance: Rated for systems operating between 25” HG vacuum and 25 psi maximum pressure.
- Simplified Installation: Integrated cap and disc design allows for faster field replacements compared to individual component swaps.
Which steam trap models are compatible with the C5838?
The C5838 is purpose-built for 1/2" traps, specifically the Mepco (Dunham Bush) 1E, 1B, 1C, #1, 1A, D1, V1A, and V1B models. It also services the 30, 44, 46, and 48 Series radiator traps.
Does this assembly include the seat or just the cap and disc?
This part includes the trap cover and the thermostatic disc. If your trap has an integral, non-removable seat that is pitted or worn, you may require a repair cartridge to establish a new seating surface.
Can I use this for high-pressure steam applications?
No, this assembly is designed for low-pressure steam heating systems with a maximum operating pressure of 25 psi. Using it in higher pressure environments may cause the thermostatic element to fail.
