Forbes Marshall Bucket Trap FMBT

FMBT is an inverted bucket trap highly recommnded for condensate recovery from high pressure lines. FMBT comes with a robust inverted bucket mechanism which makes teh trap withstand water hammers or pressure fluctuations.

FMBT comes with an internal air vent and integral strainer screen. FMBT fits on horizontal pipelines and can be maintained in line.

  • The ruggedness of the mechanical assembly inside the trap makes it resistant to water hammering and in-pipe turbulence.
  • Engineered and constructed to work seamlessly on high pressure applications where other steam traps might fail.
  • FMBT is designed for in-line maintenance making its maintenance convenient and quick.
  • FMBT can continuously recover condensate from high pressure condensate lines.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What makes a bucket trap resistant to water hammering?

    A bucket trap is constructed in such a way that the condensate is forced to changes its course multiple ties before it enters the trap. As a result, when the condensate enters an inverted bucket trap, it has lost all its momentum and does not damage the trap internals making the trap water hammer resistant.
