After trap is installed and primed, steam entering the
trap collects in the top of the bucket, floating the
bucket and forcing the valve into its seat. As
condensate begins to flow into the trap, steam and
air are forced from the bucket. This causes the
bucket to begin losing buoyancy, tending to pull the
valve from its seat. When enough condensate has

entered the trap, displacing the steam and air, the bucket
drops, pulling the valve from the seat and allowing
condensate and air to discharge. As the flow of
condensate stops, steam enters the trap and re-floats
the bucket, forcing the valve into its seat. The cycle then
repeats as more condensate reaches the trap.
