Description
The Conbraco Industries 19-MHGA-150 steam trap is designed primarily for use in HVAC systems. This 1.5-inch by 2-inch valve has a maximum flow rate of 6616 pounds of steam per hour and is rated to withstand pressures of up to 150 pounds per square inch. Steam traps are crucial parts of steam systems because they keep live steam from escaping while automatically eliminating condensate that builds up in pipes. This is important because condensate buildup can lower efficiency, cause corrosion-related damage to pipes, and impair the HVAC system’s overall performance. The 19-MHGA-150 accomplishes this by employing a bimetallic spring mechanism that expands with temperature, opening the valve to release condensate and shutting it to retain live steam.
