ISO 9001
Ball Float Steam Trap
(Flanged)
Description 20
The FT14 is an SG iron bodied ball float steam trap having stainless
steel working internals and integral automatic air venting facility.
The FT14 can be maintained without disturbing the pipework. FT14-C (R-L)
19
Available types
FT14 (R-L) Horizontal connections with flow from right to left 21
FT14 (L-R) Horizontal connections with flow from left to right
Please note: On the cover of both of these traps, the orientation 11
of the connections can be adjusted on site in preparation of
downward vertical flow applications. 10

Capsule 8 4 17 18 3
The BP99 / 32 capsule which is used in the FT14 is suitable for use
on 150°C superheat @ 0 bar g and 50°C superheat @ 32 bar g.
Optional extras
FT14 (R-L)
A manually adjustable needle valve (designated 'C' on the
nomenclature i.e. FT14-C) can be fitted to the trap. This option
provides a steam lock release (SLR) feature in addition to
the standard air vent. For further information please consult
Spirax Sarco.

Differential pressure bar (x 100 = kPa)

Capacities shown above are based on condensate at saturation temperature. When discharging sub-cooled condensate the air vent provides
extra capacity. Under start-up conditions when the condensate is cold the internal thermostatic air vent will be open and provides additional
capacity to the main valve. On 4.5 bar units this will provide a minimum of 50% increased capacity above the hot condensate figures shown.
On 10 and 14 bar units this will be a minimum increase of 100% on the published capacity. The following table gives the minimum additional
cold water capacities from the air vent.
