2.1 Description

The STS17.2 compact pipeline connector steam trapping station has been designed to provide 

a convenient ready to install trapping solution, which includes: upstream and downstream 

isolation valves (

2

), body incorporating quickfit con strainer (

1

) and check valve (

16

).

Available types

The STS17.2 is available with either single or double upstream isolation.
The STS17.2 trapping solution incorporates Spirax Sarco quickfit technology, which allows 

speedy trap maintenance. The following swivel connector steam traps (sold separately) can

be used with this pipeline connector enabling it to be tailored to suit any application:

UTD30

 and 

UTD52

 thermodynamic steam traps.

UBP32

 balanced pressure steam trap.

USM

 bimetallic steam trap.

UFT32

 ball float steam trap.

UIB30

 and 

UIB30H

 inverted bucket steam traps.

Standards

These products fully comply with the requirements of the European Pressure Equipment 

Directive  97 / 23 / EC.

Certification

These products are available with certification to EN 10204 3.1. 

Note: 

All  certification /    

inspection requirements must be stated at the time of order placement. For other certification 

contact Spirax Sarco.

Note:

 For additional product information see Technical Information Sheet TI-P128-22.

Optional extras

Integral sensor type SSL1

 (steam only) 

or WLSL1 

(for  waterlogging)  for  use  with  R1C                   

or WLSL1 with DIODE

 for use with RI6C are available as optional extras, to enable  

operational monitoring of the steam trap. 

Please note

 that the optional Spiratec 

SSL1

 and 

WLSL1

 sensors

 must not be fitted when the STS17.2 is installed in a vertical application

However a sensor can be fitted to a UTD30 steam trap if fitted. 

BDV1 blowdown valve

  is  also  available  for  cleaning  the  strainer  during  operation.                     

Care should be taken when using the BDV1 blowdown valve as the discharge may be hot. 

Please note that a BDV1 cannot be used when a Spiratec sensor has been chosen to be 

part of the unit.

Retrofit double isolation valve and spool piece

 to convert a single upstream isolation 

version to double isolation.

Insulation jacket

 is available to reduce heat loss and energy wastage. See separate literature.
