ABSTRACT:
An offset steam trap is designed for removing condensed water from a horizontal steam pipe to which the trap is connected. The body of the trap contains a ball valve for permitting limited water flow out of the pipe through an orifice, and the body has an offset portion or flow barrier between its inlet and the orifice. The body is installed with the orifice effectively below the center line of the pipe, to prevent water from collecting in the bottom of the pipe.
