TLV S3-18Z Quick-Trap TYPE 316L STEAM TRAP

Description:

The TLV S3-18Z Quick-Trap Steam Trap is used in industrial steam and condensate systems for continuous condensate discharge while preventing the loss of live steam. Commonly installed on steam mains, drip legs, steam tracing systems, heat exchangers, and process equipment requiring reliable condensate removal at medium to high pressures. Maintenance teams, OEMs, and system integrators use this steam trap for system integration, retrofit, or replacement of Quick-Trap steam traps in industrial steam systems.

Applications:

The TLV S3-18Z Quick-Trap Steam Trap is commonly used in chemical processing plants, refineries, power generation facilities, pulp and paper mills, food and beverage processing, and general industrial steam distribution systems. Its Free Float mechanism provides continuous condensate discharge without steam locking, while the Quick-Trap design allows the trap module to be replaced without removing the connector body, minimizing maintenance time and system downtime.
