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 between its inlet and the orifice. The body is installed with the orifice parallel to but below the center line of the pipe, so that water will not collect in the bottom of the pipe below the level of the orifice.
