Watson Mcdaniel ib1041-13-n-125 Steam Trap 3/4 in

Product Description

The WATSON MCDANIEL ib1041-13-n-125 is a cast iron inverted bucket steam trap designed to drain condensate efficiently from steam-using equipment. The inverted bucket mechanism allows the trap to operate reliably over extended service intervals, reducing the frequency of maintenance calls. Cast iron construction supports repairability in the field, which lowers long-term replacement and labor costs. This trap is sized at 3/4 inches and rated for 125 psi service. It is installed by licensed plumbers and steam system mechanics working on process piping, heating systems, and industrial steam distribution lines.

This inverted bucket steam trap is suited for residential and light commercial steam heating systems as well as industrial process steam applications. The 3/4-inch connection size makes it compatible with common branch piping configurations found in heating and process systems. It is typically installed at drip legs, heat exchanger outlets, and equipment drains where reliable condensate removal and air venting are required. The design supports energy conservation by discharging condensate without allowing live steam to pass through.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation inverted bucket steam trap for 3/4-inch steam piping systems rated up to 125 psi.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or steam fitter following applicable mechanical and plumbing codes. Shut off steam supply and allow the line to depressurize and cool completely before removing or installing any steam trap. The trap must be installed with the correct orientation as specified by the manufacturer to ensure proper bucket operation. Inspect inlet strainers and valve seats during installation to confirm no debris is present that could affect trap performance.
