Description
GESTRA MK 45-1, MK 45-2, MK 45A-1, MK 45A-2 PN 40 / Class 300 DN 15, 20, 25 (½”, ¾”, 1″) Steam Trap
Thermostatic steam trap with corrosion-resistant thermostatic capsule. With Y-type strainer and integrated water hammer protection. Do not expose the control membrane capsule to superheat conditions above 5°C.
Steam traps with standard capsule “N” discharge condensate with approx. 10 K below boiling temperature, traps with capsule “U” with an undercooling of approx. 30 K and traps with capsule “H” with approx. 5 K undercooling.
MK 45-1, MK 45A-1 with tandem seat (double sealing)
Particularly for low condensate flowrates. Optionally with standard capsule 5N1 or special capsule 5U1 or 5H1.
MK 45-2, MK 45A-2 with single seat
For larger condensate flowrates. Optionally with standard capsule 5N2 or special capsule 5U2 or 5H2.
