Description

Universal connector style steam traps provide an industry standard way of installing and repairing traps.  The universal connector is permanently installed inline, and trap modules are then bolted to this connector.  Repairing or replacing the trap is a simple matter of removing two bolts.  This can be accomplished in minutes without disturbing any critical piping.  Rugged design and stainless steel construction ensure the longevity of the universal connector.  Traps of different operating technology all mount to the universal connector.

Watson McDaniel offers universal connector style traps as module only units and together with the inline universal connector.
