High Temperature Service

Maximum allowable working pressures
of floats decrease at temperatures
above 100°F (37.8°C). Allow for approximately:
• 10% decrease at 200°F (93.3°C)
• 15% decrease at 300°F (148.9°C)
• 20% decrease at 400°F (204.4°C)
The float is not always the limiting factor, however.
Consult with Armstrong Application Engineering if you
have a high-temperature application that also requires
maximum operating pressures.

 180 Series Free Floating Lever Drain Traps
All Stainless Steel for Horizontal Installation
For pressures to 400 psig (28 bar) . . . Capacities to 2,000 lb/hr (907 kg/hr)

Armstrong’s stainless steel, free floating lever drain traps use

the same bodies, caps, lever mechanisms, valves and seats as
Armstrong inverted bucket steam traps that have been proven
in years of service. Elliptical floats and high leverage make it
possible to open large orifices to provide adequate capacity for
drain trap size and weight.

The hemispherical valve, seat and leverage of the 180-LD and

181-LD stainless steel traps are identical in design, materials
and workmanship to those for saturated steam service up to 570
psig (39 bar), except that the 180 Series traps have a guidepost
to ensure a positive, leak-tight valve closing under all conditions.
The 180 Series is designed for situations where mounting a
drainer close to the floor is critical. A back vent connection is
required.
