Armstrong Inverted Bucket Traps

Additional Information

The 800 Series cast iron inverted bucket steam trap is designed for reliable condensate drainage in horizontal installations. Featuring a free-floating stainless steel mechanism and a top-mounted discharge orifice, this trap delivers efficient operation with continuous air and CO₂ venting at steam temperature.

 

Inverted bucket technology is widely regarded as one of the most dependable steam trap designs, providing long service life, energy efficiency, and resistance to water hammer. The unique leverage system multiplies bucket force to open the valve against system pressure, while the top-mounted mechanism prevents dirt buildup and allows debris to be discharged during normal operation. A surrounding water seal minimizes live steam loss, and the rugged cast iron body ensures durability. All units are fully repairable, helping reduce maintenance and replacement costs over time.
