BELL AND GOSSETT 17-C-A-2-25 Steam Trap 25 psi 353F
A brass steam trap rated for 25 psi and 353°F with a 162 lb/hr condensate capacity
- 25 psi operating pressure handles low-pressure steam systems
- 353°F maximum temperature withstands high-heat applications
- 162 lb/hr condensate capacity manages heavy steam loads
- Angle configuration with air vent simplifies horizontal installation
- Brass body construction resists corrosion in steam environments
Steam trap for industrial heating equipment
The Bell & Gossett 17C series steam trap is built for convectors, steam kettles, evaporators, heating coils, radiators, sterilizers, steam tracing and unit heaters. It handles a condensate capacity of 162 lb/hr at a maximum operating pressure of 25 psi and a temperature rating of 353F. The brass body with an angle configuration and 3-1/4 in port spacing suits horizontal installation on 1/2 in female NPT connections.
Integrated air vent simplifies installation
An air vent is included with the trap, removing the need to source and fit a separate venting component. This reduces assembly time and potential leak points on the two-port assembly. The plastic components are coloured blue for quick visual identification during maintenance checks. California Proposition 65 applies as the product contains a chemical known to the state to cause cancer.
Suited for moderate condensate loads on horizontal
The 162 lb/hr capacity covers typical heating coils, unit heaters and steam tracing lines operating at 25 psi. It is not intended for high-capacity process vessels or vertical piping orientations where the angle body and horizontal installation rating would be exceeded. The fixed 3-1/4 in centre distance also limits direct replacement to matching piping layouts.

Questions about this item
Will the brass body or internal valve seat need replacement after extended service?
The brass body and internal valve seat are built for long service; replacement is only required if wear or debris prevents tight shut-off.
At what condensate load does the trap reach its discharge limit?
The trap handles up to 162 lb/hr of condensate; beyond that flow backs up and temperature drops.
How hot does the trap body get during continuous 25 psi operation?
The body runs at the saturated steam temperature of 353F, so insulation is advised for personnel protection.
