General Description
Install properly and DO NOT use this product outside the recommended
operating pressure, temperature and other specification ranges.
Improper use may result in such hazards as damage to the product or
malfunctions which may lead to serious accidents. Local regulations
may restrict the use of this product to below the conditions quoted.
CAUTION
Application
The PowerTrap is used to discharge liquid from vacuum-pressure or low-pressure areas to
high-pressure areas, or from lower to higher elevations.
The GT model is the same as the GP, but with an additional steam trap function, making
it suitable for use in instances in which the inlet pressure may alternately be lower than or
higher than the outlet pressure. (Note: The GP14/GT14 is designed for higher-pressure.)
There are two types of delivery systems (piping methods): the closed system and the
open system. Use of the GT model or the GP model is determined by the type of system.
Check to make sure that the PowerTrap model that has been purchased is suitable for
use on the type of system that is being planned for installation.

Benefits
No need for external steam trap (GT
model features built-in trap)
No flash steam discharge
Small reservoir
Use with vacuum equipment possible
Collection of condensate from multiple
equipment possible
Can be used where trap is lower than
receiver, such as equipment situated near
grade (providing there is sufficient differential
pressure)
Notes
Only one piece of equipment possible
per system
Equipment has minimum height
requirement to ensure that condensate
flows naturally by gravity (approx. 1 m
(40 in))
Separate steam trap required for each piece
of equipment
Requires venting pipe to discharge flash
steam to atmosphere
