TK-1A Bimetallic Traps is operated by metal strips made of alloys with that are bonded together. At start-up, the trap is cold and the bimetallic element is relaxed. The valve is wide open. When steam enters the trap, it surrounds and heats the strips, which begin to expand directly on the valve stem, closing the valve against the pressure trap, the strips begin to cool. When relaxes and opens the valve.

Main difference between standard bi-metallic (TK-1) and TK-1A adjustable bi-metallic steam trap is, no need to stop system while adjusting the discharge temperature.

TK-1A Bimetallic Traps, specially manifactured for SUPER HEATED STEAM applications. Appropriate isolation valves must be installed to ensure that maintenance and drainage are safe.

Installation
TK-1A can be installed both vertically and horizontally to the pipeline.
