FT14
Ball Float Steam Trap
(Flanged)

FT14-C (R-L)

FT14 (R-L) Main valve assembly DN25

Description
The FT14 is an SG iron bodied ball float steam trap having stainless steel working internals and integral automatic air venting facility.
The FT14 can be maintained without disturbing the pipework.

Available types
FT14 (R-L) Horizontal connections with flow from right to left

FT14 (L-R) Horizontal connections with flow from left to right

Please note: On the cover of both of these traps, the orientation of the connections can be adjusted on site in preparation of downward
vertical flow applications.

Capsule
The BP99/32 capsule which is used in the FT14 is suitable for use on 150 °C superheat @ 0 bar g and 50 °C superheat @ 32 bar g.

Optional extras
A manually adjustable needle valve (designated 'C' on the nomenclature i.e. FT14-C) can be fitted to the trap. This option provides
a steam lock release (SLR) feature in addition to the standard air vent. For further information please consult Spirax Sarco.

The FT14 has the option of an integral strainer screen (designated 'X' on the nomenclature i.e. FT14X-).

Standards
This product fully complies with the requirements of the EU Pressure Equipment Directive/UK Pressure Equipment (Safety) Regulations.

Certification
This product is available with a manufacturers' Typical Test Report.
Note: All certification /inspection requirements must be stated at the time of order placement.

Differential pressure bar (x 100 = kPa)
Capacities shown above are based on condensate at saturation temperature. When discharging sub-cooled condensate the air vent
provides extra capacity. Under start-up conditions when the condensate is cold the internal thermostatic air vent will be open and
provides additional capacity to the main valve.
On 4.5 bar units this will provide a minimum of
50% increased c apacit y above the hot

Safety information, installation and maintenance

For full details see the Installation and Maintenance Instructions (IM-S02-13) supplied with the product.

Installation note:
The FT14 must be installed with the direction of flow as indicated on the body, and with the float arm in a horizontal plain so that it rises
and falls vertically. If required the flow orientation can be changed on site.
