BELL AND GOSSETT 17C-S-2-25 25 psi 353F hvac control
A brass steam trap rated 25 psi and 353 °F with 162 lb/hr capacity and integral air vent
- Brass body resists corrosion in steam systems
- Offset configuration simplifies horizontal piping runs
- Built-in air vent removes non-condensable gases automatically
- 162 lb/hr condensate capacity handles heavy loads
- Rated for 25 psi and 353°F operating limits
Steam trap for HVAC systems
This BELL & GOSSETT 17C series steam trap handles 25 psi operating pressure and temperatures up to 353F. It suits convectors, steam kettles, evaporators, heating coils, radiators, sterilizers, steam tracing and unit heaters. The brass body with offset configuration installs horizontally and includes an integrated air vent.
Buyers needing a 1/2 in NPT female inlet
Installers working with 1/2 in NPT female connections and a 3-1/4 in centre-to-centre port spacing will find this unit fits directly. Those requiring a different pipe size, vertical orientation, higher pressure rating or a configuration without an air vent should look at other models.
Condensate capacity of 162 lb/hr
The trap comfortably processes loads up to 162 lb/hr, making it suitable for typical heating coils and unit heaters. Systems producing condensate above this rate will exceed the trap’s capacity and need a larger or parallel arrangement.

Questions about this item
Which pipe thread must my existing piping have so the 1/2 in NPT inlet on this trap seals without adapters?
The trap’s inlet uses a 1/2 in NPT female thread; your supply line needs the matching male NPT thread to connect directly.
Will the 3 1/4 in centre-to-centre offset on this trap line up with the convector piping I am keeping?
The offset distance between inlet and outlet ports is 3 1/4 in; measure your existing convector connections to confirm they match that spacing.
How can I verify the trap is discharging the rated 162 lb/hr of condensate once installed?
Check that steam pressure at the inlet reaches 25 psi and that the body temperature approaches 353 °F; steady condensate flow at those conditions confirms rated capacity.
