TLV J5X-5 Free Float Steam Trap

Description:

The TLV J5X-5 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, sterilizers, and other process 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 J5X-5 Free Float Steam Trap is commonly used in chemical processing plants, food and beverage facilities, pharmaceutical manufacturing, pulp and paper mills, textile processing, and general industrial process heating systems. Its free float mechanism provides continuous condensate discharge, while the built-in thermostatic air vent helps remove air during startup to improve heat transfer, steam quality, and overall system efficiency.
