TLV J3X-2 J3X2A Free Float Steam Trap For Condensate Drainage In Steam Systems

Description:

The TLV J3X-2 J3X2A Free Float Steam Trap is used in industrial steam and condensate systems for continuous condensate discharge while preventing the loss of live steam. Commonly installed in heat exchangers, steam tracing systems, jacketed vessels, process heaters, and other low-pressure steam applications requiring reliable condensate removal. Maintenance teams, OEMs, and system integrators use this steam trap for system integration, retrofit, or replacement of steam traps in industrial steam systems.

Applications:

The TLV J3X-2 Free Float Steam Trap is commonly used in chemical processing plants, food and beverage production, pharmaceutical manufacturing, textile processing, pulp and paper mills, and general industrial process heating systems. Its self-modulating free float mechanism provides continuous condensate discharge, while the built-in thermostatic X-element automatically vents air during startup to improve heat transfer, equipment performance, and steam system efficiency.
