Overview

The 246 Series Low Pressure Manual Drip Trap is designed to collect and safely remove condensate from gas piping systems. Condensate removal is necessary to protect piping and equipment from possible damage caused by corrosion or water hammer. In addition, water lying in low spots in the pipe can restrict gas flow resulting in increased pressure drop. Drip traps should be installed at all low points in horizontal pipe runs for convenient removal of accumulated condensate.
