For 3/4" and 1" Steam Lines

The Balston 23/75SR is recommended for applications in smaller lines with a steam flow up 
to 500 lbs. per hour.  The filter is complete with filter cartridge, steam trap, and bleeder valve.

For 1-1/2" Steam Lines

The Balston SP2-23/75SR and SP3-23/75SR (three 23/75SR steam filters manifolded to-
gether) handle steam flows of up to 1000 and 1500 lbs. per hour, respectively.  Each filter has 
its own steam trap to avoid "short circuiting".  A master trap, at the end of the inlet manifold, 
disposes of most condensate before it reaches the filters.  Manifolds can be connected to 
flow from left to right or right to left, allowing for convenient installation.

For 2" Steam Lines

The Balston SP4-23/75SR (four 23/75SR steam filters manifolded together) handles steam 
flow rates of up to 2000 lbs. of steam per hour.  Steam trap and manifold features are the 
same as for Model SP3-23/75SR. The Balston SP6-23/75SR (Six 23/75SR filters manifolded 
together) handles steam flow rates of up to 3000 lbs of steam per hour.
