Series G, MG
Float & Thermostatic Steam Traps
Sizes: 3⁄4" – 2" (20 – 50mm)
For operating pressures up to 50psi (3.5 bars)
Series G, MG Float & Thermostatic Steam Traps are designed
for use on modulating process equipment and as main distribution line drip traps. Series G, MG Float & Thermostatic steam
traps feature a straight through design for fast simple installation.
Stainless steel valve head and seats provide long service life.
G, MG series steam traps have excellent air venting capability
and discharge condensate at near to steam temperature so
the steam space remains free of condensate providing
improved steam system efficiency.
Features
• Fail safe — In case of float failure, trap will discharge
condensate and air; no unit freeze-up
• Air vent parts — accessible without disturbing piping
• Inlet baffle — breaks up water hammer; prevents
damage to parts
• Snap action valve — no wire-drawing or valve chatter
• Two moving parts — no levers, hinges or pins to corrode
or jam
• Straight-through connections — saves installation time,
labor, space, headroom
• Stainless steel valve head and seats
• Seamless copper float — no seams to develop leaks
• Uniform operations — not affected by changes in load
or pressures
• Condensate valve rotates — ensures even wear, longer
valve and seat life
Applications
• Steam coils
• Unit heaters
• Drip points
• Heat exchangers
• Water heaters
• Absorption machines
• Unit ventilators
• Air handlers
• Make-up air coils
• Re-heat coils
• Jacketed kettles

The basic capacity ratings are expressed in pounds condensate per hour at various pressure differentials.
For ease of trap selection the tables also give the heating
value in MBH of the steam condensed. This is arrived at by
multiplying the condensate rating by the appropriate Latent
Heat Value and dividing by 1,000 to determine MBH.
Capacities are also expressed in square feet Equivalent
Direct Radiation. This is determined by dividing the heating
capacity in BTU/Hr. (MBH x 1,000) by 240 BTU/Hr./Square
Foot Equivalent Direct Radiation.
Example:
Select a trap for a Unit Heater with a heating capacity of 170
MBH operating on a 5 psi line. A 2 to 1 capacity factor is desired.
MBH rating for selection purposes =
2 x 170 = 340 MBH. Read down 5 psi
column and select the smallest trap whose
MBH rating exceeds 340 MBH.
The 1" 7G has a capacity of 505 MBH,
or 525 pounds of condensate per hour on
2,104 square feet Equivalent Direct
Radiation. 1" 7G is the correct trap for
this application.
Note: The condensate capacities for GF or MGF traps are the same as shown for G or MG float and thermostatic traps and selection should
be made in the same manner.
**Ratings are in accordance with the recommended standards adopted by the Steam Heating Equipment Manufacturers Association. Select trap directly from
table for the lowest differential that may exist in the system. Traps may be applied directly and no safety factor need be applied.
