Series TA
Operation
Tunstall Corp. produces a complete line of thermostatic radiator steam traps with ratings up to 125 psi. Each unit is tested and inspected before leaving the factory guaranteeing years of trouble free service. All units are “normally open” to expel air and water and will “close” at saturated steam temperature thereby preventing steam from entering into condensate return lines. Each Tunstall Steam Trap features the Tunstall Capsule® which has become the best steam trap replacement bellows available today.
Features
- Chrome-plated heavy duty forged brass
- TIG welded stainless steel Tunstall Capsule® with balanced pressure stainless steel bellows
- Calibrated, inspected and tested
- Ratings from 25″ Hg vacuum to 125 psi
- Available in 1/2″ & 3/4″ straight or angle, 1/2″ x 3/4″ angle, 1/2″ vertical and 1″ angle patterns
Benefits

*Ratings are in accordance with standards established by The Steam Heating Manufacturers Association (SHEMA). No safety factor required.
**To convert Square Feet EDR to pounds of condensate per hour: Divide the square foot ratings by 4.
One Square foot EDR is equivalent to net emission of 240 BTU per hour with 215°F steam in the radiator surrounded by 70°F air temperature.
***Basic ratings for trap pressures greater than 25 psi are given in lbs of condensate per hour.
One pound of condensate is equivalent to approximately 1000 BTU, 1000 BTU is equivalent to approximately 4 square feet EDR.
