Mepco (Dunham Bush) D2487 Trap
The Mepco Dunham Bush D2487 is a specialized 1/2" 1E-AP angle pattern thermostatic steam trap engineered for reliable condensate management in low-pressure steam heating systems. Designed for applications ranging from 25" Hg vacuum up to 25 PSI, this cast brass steam trap efficiently evacuates air and non-condensable gases while preventing live steam from entering the return lines. The angle pattern configuration allows for direct connection to radiators or heating elements, simplifying steam trap installation in tight mechanical spaces. This unit features a rugged thermostatic bellows element that responds quickly to temperature differentials, ensuring the system remains free from waterlogging and air binding. As a direct 1E-AP replacement, it maintains the precise 1/2" NPT tapping and union inlet dimensions required for seamless integration into existing Mepco steam systems. Utilizing high-quality industrial steam trap components, the D2487 offers contractors a field-proven solution for restoring thermal efficiency and preventing water hammer in commercial piping networks.
Key Benefits- Optimized Condensate Drainage: Maintains sensitive thermostatic control to discharge water and vent air without losing live steam.
- High-Durability Construction: Heavy-duty cast brass body and a rugged bellows design provide reliable performance in harsh HVAC environments.
- Substantial Pressure Range: Operates effectively from full vacuum conditions up to 25 PSI, making it ideal for standard low-pressure steam loops.
- Angled Inlet/Outlet Design: The 1E-AP pattern streamlines piping layouts and simplifies the replacement of older radiator traps.
- Clog-Resistant Operation: Internal geometry is engineered to reduce debris buildup and prevent the trap from failing in the closed position.
What is the difference between an angle pattern and a straight-way trap?
The angle pattern (AP) features an inlet and outlet at a 90-degree angle, typically used for direct radiator connections, whereas straight-way (SW) traps have an inline flow path for horizontal pipe runs.
Can the internal elements of the D2487 be repaired in the field?
Yes, this trap is compatible with standard Mepco repair cartridges, such as the MEP-1950, allowing for quick rebuilding of the bellows and seat without removing the entire body from the line.
How can I tell if my 1E-AP trap has failed?
A trap failed in the "open" position will allow steam to enter the return line, causing high backpressure, while a "closed" failure results in a cold radiator due to condensate backup.
