Description
Model: Thermodynamic Steam Trap - TD600S Series by Watson McDaniel
NPT Size/Connection: 1/2"
Weight lbs: 2.0
Cross Ref: TD-42H
Connection: NPT
Series: TD600S
The Thermodynamic Steam Trap is simple and compact with a single moving part (disc) which opens to discharge condensate and closes in the presence of steam. Body materials are available in Stainless and Alloy Steels for pressures up to 3,600 psi. It is widely used in higher pressure drip applications and critical tracing applications where condensate back-up is not permitted.
Applications: Draining condensate from steam mains and steam supply lines. They can also be used for steam tracing applications.
TD600S vs TD600LS vs TD600SB vs TD600LSB
- TD600S Standard Model – Operates over the full pressure range up to 600 PSIG.
- TD600LS High-Pressure Model – Recommended on pressures over 150 PSIG for improved efficiency.
- TD600SB Standard Model – Operates over the full pressure range up to 600 PSIG.
- TD600LSB High-Pressure Model – Recommended on pressures over 150 PSIG for improved efficiency.
Note: The TD600 Steam Trap body and seat is a one-piece integral design and therefore cannot be welded; the excessive heat of welding will damage the seat area. Socket Weld or Flange connections are not available. If a repairable design or weldable trap is required, Watson McDaniel recommends the TD700S or UTD450 with Universal Connector Series.
Helpful Selection Information: The TD600LS has reduced discharge orifice holes, which are preferable in terms of performance, longevity, and efficiency, especially at pressures above 150 PSIG. For most drip applications the 1/2” TD600LS should have sufficient capacity. For higher load drip applications or if a 3/4” pipe connection is required, use the 3/4” TD600LS for best results. Selecting a model with capacity closely matched to the application will extend trap life.
