Description
GESTRA UNA 14, PN25 UNA 16, PN40 / CL150, Carbon Steel UNA 16A, PN40 / CL150, Stainless Steel DN 15, 20, 25, NPS ½”, ¾”, 1″ Ball Float Steam Trap
Type UNA 14, UNA 16 and UNA 16A ball float steam traps are used to discharge condensate in steam and other gases or gaseous mixtures. UNA 14, UNA 16 and UNA 16A are steam traps with a ball float and sealing unit with rolling ball. As their operation is unaffected by backpressure, the equipment is suitable for universal use.
Suitable for large condensate flowrates
Function
The control unit opens the orifice (O) based on the fill level. This regulates the drainage rate. With the orifice opened to maximum, the drainage rate depends on the diameter of the orifice.

Ball Float Steam Trap
GESTRA: The Ultimate Solution for Industrial Steam & Fluid Control Systems
GESTRA UNA 14 & UNA 16 Ball Float Steam Trap
PN 25 / PN 40 – Class 150 – DN 15, 20, 25 (NPS ½”, ¾”, 1″)
High-Efficiency Ball Float Steam Trap for Industrial & Process Steam Systems
The GESTRA UNA 14, UNA 16, and UNA 16A Ball Float Steam Traps are high-performance mechanical steam traps designed for efficient condensate discharge, zero live steam loss, and long-term operational reliability. Engineered to operate at PN 25 and PN 40 / ASME Class 150, these steam traps are ideal for low to medium pressure steam applications across a wide range of industries.
Available in DN 15, DN 20, and DN 25 (equivalent to NPS ½”, ¾”, and 1″), the UNA 14 and UNA 16 series deliver precise condensate control in compact steam systems where efficiency and durability are essential.
What Is a GESTRA UNA Ball Float Steam Trap?
The GESTRA UNA series utilizes a mechanical ball float mechanism that automatically and continuously discharges condensate as it forms. This design ensures maximum heat transfer efficiency, prevents condensate backup, and protects steam equipment from water hammer and corrosion.
Unlike thermodynamic steam traps, ball float steam traps such as the GESTRA UNA 14 and UNA 16 respond instantly to load changes, making them ideal for process-critical steam applications.
