Yarway F881, F883 and F884 Float and Thermostatic Steam Traps

Yarway F881, F883, and F884 Float and Thermostatic Steam Traps are designed to remove condensate from steam lines and equipment. They are suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

  • Steam tracing
  • Heat exchangers
  • Boilers
  • Process equipment

These steam traps feature a unique combination of a float and thermostatic element that provides reliable condensate removal even in the presence of air or non-condensable gases. The float element is designed to close the trap when the condensate level rises, preventing steam loss. The thermostatic element opens the trap when the condensate temperature drops below the saturation temperature, allowing air and non-condensable gases to be vented.

INSTALLATION POSITION
CORRECT INSTALLATION WRONG INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
• Check that the product is suitable for the
intended application (i.e. materials and
pressure/temperature ratings).
• Remove plastic covers from end connections.
Be sure that the equipment is installed
according to the arrow for Inlet/Outlet
designations.
• Ensure that the jointing material does not
block or enter the trap.
• If Teflon tape is used (for threaded
connections), avoid rolling it till the edge.
• Install the steam trap at a point where
condensate tends to accumulate.
• A Strainer should be installed upstream of
the trap. The strainer must be installed with
the sieve sideways.
• Take the necessary precautions to prevent
damage to this product due to thermal
expansion and other external sources of
stress.
• The steam trap pipework should be properly
supported and free from strain and it should
not be subjected to undue surges of pressure.
MAINTENANCE
• The steam trap must be checked at least
once a year (i.e. validate its operation and
clean the internals).
• When reassembling, make sure all gasket
faces are clean. Always use a new gasket.
Tighten cover bolts uniformly in a diagonal
sequence.
• Maintenance should proceed as follows:
1. Isolation valves should be closed.
Pressure and temperature should be
atmospheric.
2. Remove the type of connections used.
3. Execute the maintenance work.
4. Replace and tighten the connections (don’t
forget to replace the gasket).
5. Consider the start-up conditions.
