Thermostatic Steam Traps
Energy-efficient steam trapping for maximum condensate recovery and plant uptime
TLV thermostatic and free-float steam traps are the global standard for energy-efficient condensate management. From high-pressure mains drainage to heat exchanger applications, these traps deliver instant response, minimal steam loss, and decades of reliable operation.
Failed steam traps waste up to 10% of total steam energy. TLV's Free Float design eliminates blow-through and reduces energy cost from day one, with proven 15+ year service life.
We provide full steam system audits, trap surveys, energy-loss calculations, and scheduled maintenance programs — not just trap supply.
Engineered
where it matters
Free Float™ mechanism
Precision-ground float ball responds instantly to condensate — continuous discharge with zero steam loss at operating load.
Built-in air venting
Integrated thermostatic air vent eliminates air and non-condensables during start-up, preventing waterlogging.
SUS316 internals
All wetted parts in SUS316 stainless steel for long life in corrosive condensate and high-purity steam systems.
Self-modulating
The float continuously adjusts to match condensate load — no oversizing, no cycling, no blow-through.
Compact design
Small footprint for tight piping runs. Universal mounting orientation — horizontal or vertical installation.
Easy maintenance
Top-serviceable internals. Replace the float mechanism without removing the body from the line.
