Flanged Connection FT14X FT14 FTGS14 SPIRAX SARCO Ball Float Steam Trap and Endress and Hauser Flowmeter on Pipe

The Spirax Sarco FT14X-10 is a compact ball float steam trap from the FT14 series, featuring an SG iron body and an integral strainer screen for added protection against debris. It discharges condensate continuously at steam temperature while venting non-condensable gases via a balanced pressure thermostatic air vent, making it a dependable choice for steam systems needing in-line servicing and basic filtration.

• Integral strainer screen (denoted by "X") to catch particles and reduce fouling.
• Stainless steel internals for corrosion resistance and long service life.
• Automatic air venting for efficient removal of non-condensables at startup and during operation.
• In-line maintenance—internals accessible without removing the trap from the pipeline.
• Flow direction adjustable on site for installation flexibility.
• Continuous modulated discharge based on condensate level.
• Compliant with European Pressure Equipment Directive requirements.

Body Material: SG iron (ductile iron). Working Internals: Stainless steel. Strainer: Integral screen (X version). Maximum Differential Pressure (ΔPMX): 10 bar (145 psi). Pressure/Temperature Limits: Up to 10 bar g at saturated steam conditions; maximum temperature typically up to 220°C depending on seat material. Air Vent: Integral balanced pressure thermostatic type. Connections: Screwed (BSP T Rp ISO 7-1) or flanged (PN16/PN25 options available in series). Sizes: Typically DN15 to DN50 (½" to 2") in FT14 range. Installation: Horizontal float arm; flow direction field-adjustable. Standards: Complies with PED 2014/68/EU.

Suited for process equipment with modulating temperature controls, unit heaters, air heating coils, heat exchangers, and steam main drip legs where condensate must be drained efficiently and minor debris protection is beneficial.

Q: What does the "X" in FT14X mean? A: It indicates the trap includes an integral strainer screen for basic filtration.

Q: How high can the differential pressure go? A: The -10 version handles up to 10 bar maximum differential pressure.

Q: Can I service it without breaking the line? A: Yes, all working parts are accessible in-line for quick maintenance.

Q: Does it vent air automatically? A: Yes, the built-in thermostatic air vent handles non-condensables reliably.

Q: Is the flow direction fixed? A: No—it can be adjusted on site as needed.

Consider the standard FT14 (without strainer) for simpler setups, or the FT14-4.5/FT14-14 variants for different pressure ratings in the same series..
