Steam trap for process equipment
The Bell & Gossett FT030H-5 is a cast iron steam trap built for process equipment, blast coils, heat exchangers, steam mains and unit heaters. It operates with an H-pattern configuration and a horizontal installation orientation. The body and float are both cast iron for durability in steam service.
Suits plants needing integrated air vent
This unit includes both an air vent and a strainer, so it suits facilities that want those functions combined in one valve. Buyers who need a different pressure rating, a vertical orientation or a body material other than cast iron should look at something else.
Maximum capacity 2,200 lb/hr at 30 psi
The trap handles a maximum capacity of 2,200 lb/hr at 30 psi, which is the key figure for sizing it to your steam load. The condensate capacity matches that same 2,200 lb/hr rating.

Questions about this item
How is the H-pattern steam trap installed and what orientation step is often missed?
Install the trap in horizontal piping with the inlet and outlet ports 5 1/2 inches apart. The step often missed is confirming horizontal orientation; vertical mounting will prevent the float mechanism from operating correctly.
What maintenance will the cast iron float and strainer need over time?
The included strainer should be cleaned periodically to prevent debris from fouling the float. The cast iron float and air vent should be inspected for wear or corrosion during routine system shutdowns to ensure reliable discharge.
At what pressure does the trap reach its 2,200 lb/hr capacity limit?
The trap reaches its maximum condensate capacity of 2,200 lb/hr at the maximum operating pressure of 30 psi. Sustained operation above this pressure is not supported by the design.
