Spirax Sarco FT14 Ball Float Steam Trap – Screwed BSP/NPT – IBR Certified
Spirax Sarco FT14 ball float steam trap with integral air vent. IBR certified, PN16 rated. Ideal for industrial steam systems in India.
Overview
The Spirax Sarco FT14 is a robust ball float steam trap designed for efficient condensate removal in saturated and superheated steam systems. Constructed with an SG iron body and stainless steel internals, this trap delivers reliable performance across a wide range of industrial applications.
The FT14 features an integral automatic air venting facility using the BP99/32 thermostatic capsule, which enhances start-up performance and handles air/CO₂ venting without requiring separate equipment. The float-operated mechanism responds instantly to varying condensate loads, ensuring continuous drainage without steam loss.
Designed for ease of maintenance, the FT14 allows in-line servicing without disturbing connected pipework. It is fully compliant with Indian Boiler Regulations (IBR) 1950, making it suitable for regulated industrial steam installations across India.
