7.  SELECTION OF TRAP, STRAINER, AND SEPARATOR KITS

Traps, strainers, and drains are integral elements of any atmospheric and 
pressurized steam system. An inlet trap prevents condensate generated 
during initial start-up and normal operation from entering the ultimateSAM 
distributor or control valve. An inlet strainer removes pipeline debris, such as 
scale, rust, and other solids, which may find its way into the pipeline system. 
In addition, a drain must be installed on the ultimateSAM distributor to 
remove condensate that forms inside the system.
Figures 7.a and 7.b are examples of the basic components needed for a 
pressurized steam system. For serviceability and functionality, the system 
may require additional items not shown, such as shut-off valves and 
additional piping.

In the case where the ultimateSAM is connected directly to a humidifier, 
(Fig.7.c), the steam trap may not be necessary if the installation allows the 
condensation from inside the pipe to flow back to the humidifier. In the case 
this is not possible, it is necessary to also provide a discharger  for the system 
connected to a humidifier in order to avoid the entrance of condensation in 
the distributor.

Note

: The adapters and steam hoses shown above are available as 

options. The “P” drains are not provided as part of the ultimateSAM 

system. The system for identifying trap, strainer, and separator accessories is 
shown in Table 7.a. 

Note

: Not all of the possible combinations shown on the table are 

available. A complete list of available kits, as well as information on 

other features, is provided in Section 7.1.
