"QUICK-CHANGE" Universal Trap Module

The UC450 Series QUICK-CHANGE Universal Trap-Connector System with multiple choices for trap modules and multiple choices for connectors are used in steam systems where a simplified and economical maintenance program of steam traps is desired. They can be used on steam supply lines as well as for tracing and small process applications. Once the All Stainless Steel Universal Connector is installed permanently in the piping system, the Universal Trap Module can be replaced in minutes with a socket or open-end wrench without having to unthread piping. Our connectors and modules with work with other manufacturers products as well. Trap module can swivel 360° on the connector allowing proper orientation.

There are 6 different Steam Trap Models in our Quick-Change Universal offering. Choose a trap type which will suit your application: Thermodynamic, Thermostatic, Float & Thermostatic or Inverted Bucket.

"Quick Change" Universal Style Modules

The All Stainless Steel Universal Style Steam Traps feature a permanent installation of the Universal Connector with a 2-bolt mounting arrangement for the Universal Steam Trap Module, allowing the Steam Trap to be removed and replaced in minutes:

  • Steam trap is replaced without having to unthread piping
  • By removing only 2 bolts with a socket or open-end wrench
  • Trap module can swivel 360º on the universal connector allowing proper orientation

Thermodynamic: UTD450SM / UTD600SM (Side Mount)

The UTD450SM and UTD600SM Thermodynamic Steam Trap Modules (Side Mount) can be used anywhere conventional thermodynamic steam traps are used, including drip and tracing applications. The Side Mount design allows greater piping flexibility for mounting thermodynamic trap modules with the cap facing upward on either vertical or horizontal piping installations. These modules can mount to any 2-bolt Quick-Change Universal Connector, but are typically used with side-mount connectors such as the UC450SR/UC450SL. (Shown with UC450SR connector.)

Thermodynamic: UTD450 (Top Mount)

The UTD450 (Top Mount) Thermodynamic Steam Trap Modules can be used anywhere conventional thermodynamic steam traps are used, including drip and tracing applications. These modules can mount to any 2-bolt Quick-Change Universal Connector. When used with the UC450S connector strainer will point downward. (Shown with UC450SB connector.)

The UTD450 “Top Mount” is inteded for horizontal piping configurations only so that cap can be oriented upwards, as shown.

Inverted Bucket: USIB450

The USIB450 Series Inverted Bucket Steam Trap Modules can be used for drip and tracing applications. These modules can mount to any 2-bolt Quick-Change Universal Connector, but are typically used with side-mount connectors such as the UC450SR/UC450SL. (Shown with UC450SR connector.)

Thermostatic: UT450

The UT450 Thermostatic Steam Trap Module can be used anywhere conventional thermostatic steam traps are used, including drip, tracing, and light process applications. Because of the installation flexibility of Thermostatic Steam Traps, these modules can mount to any 2-bolt Quick-Change Universal Connector. (Shown with UC450SL connector.)

Bi-Metallic: UB450

The UB450 Bimetallic Steam Trap Module is used in steam tracing applications such as process line heating, winterization of instrumentation, general steam jacketing, etc.). The bimetal element is externally field-adjustable. This feature provides accurate control of condensate discharge temperature as required to maintain a specific product temperature, as well as maintain maximum energy usage. Because of the installation flexibility of Bimetallic Steam Traps, these modules can mount to any 2-bolt Quick-Change Universal Connector. (Shown with UC450SBL connector.)

Float & Thermostatic: UFT450

The UFT450 Series Float & Thermostatic Steam Trap Modules can be used on small process equipment which generate light condensate loads. F&T traps have excellent air handling capability. These F&T trap modules can also be used in drip service on steam mains and steam supply lines. These modules can mount to any 2-bolt Quick-Change Universal Connector, but are typically used with side-mount connectors such as the UC450SR/UC450SL to maintain proper orientation of the Float & Thermostatic trap module. (Shown with UC450SBL connector.)

There are 6 different Steam Trap Models in our Quick-Change Universal System offering. They are recommended for any application, particularly those which require simple and frequent replacement of steam traps. Choose a trap type which will suit your application: Thermodynamic, Thermostatic, Float & Thermostatic or Inverted Bucket.

Once the All Stainless Steel Universal Connector is installed permanently in the piping system, the Universal Trap Module can be replaced in minutes with a socket or open-end wrench without having to unthread piping. Our connectors and modules with work with other manufacturers products as well. Trap module can swivel 360° on the connector allowing proper orientation.

DRIP, TRACING: The USIB450 inverted bucket steam trap modules must be mounted to a Universal Connector. They are typically used for drip applications such as draining condensate from steam mains or steam supply lines as well as for steam tracing applications. USIB450H is the higher capacity model.

All USIB450 modules mounts to any 2-bolt Quick-Change Universal Connector. Please refer to the Universal Connector product page.

DRIP, PROCESS: The UFT450 Float & Thermostatic steam trap module can be used on small process equipment which generate light condensate loads. F&T traps have excellent air handling capability. These F&T trap modules can also be used in drip service on steam mains and steam supply lines. Mounts to any Universal Connector.

DRIP, TRACING: Designed for drip applications for the draining of condensate from steam mains and other steam supply lines as well as for tracing applications. The UTD450 & UTD600 Steam Trap Modules can be used anywhere conventional thermodynamic steam traps are used. This trap module can be used on either vertical or horizontal piping installations and can mount to any 2-bolt Quick-Change Universal Connector.

DRIP, TRACING: Designed to work as a drip trap for the draining of condensate from steam mains and other steam supply lines, the UTD450 Thermodynamic Steam Trap Module can be used anywhere conventional thermodynamic steam traps are used. Can also be used on tracing applications. This model is only recommended for horizontal piping installations to allow the cap to be oriented upwards. The UTD450 mounts to any 2-bolt Quick-Change Universal Connector.

The UTD450 is recommended for horizontal piping only so that cap can be oriented upwards, as shown.

DRIP, TRACING, PROCESS:The UT450 Thermostatic Steam Trap Module can be used anywhere conventional thermostatic steam traps are used. Used for drip, tracing and light process applications. Trap module mounts to any 2-bolt Quick-Change Universal Connector.

DRIP, TRACING: The UB450 steam trap module are used in steam tracing applications (fro process line heating, instrumentation and winterization, general steam jacketing ). In tracing  applications, the externally - adjustable ( temperature adjustment) bi-metal element provides accurate control of condensate discharge temperature as required to maintain a specific product temperature as well provide maximum usage of energy.

The UB450 trap module mounts to any Universal Connector. Please refer to the Universal Connector product page.
