No. 11 AIR VENT TRAP This trap is designed to providea pos itive meansof expelling air at the termi nus of the re turn system in the boiler' room and at the same time prevent leakage. A float mechanism within the trap allows the air to pass from the top of the return : line into this trap, and to escape through the air outlet at the top of the trap by means of piping, which extends above the normal water level of the return system. The ball check valve prevents the air from re-entering the system at this point. As water builds up in this trap, the float rises, closing the air outlet and retaining the water in the return system. This trap has sufficient air expelling ca pacity to take care of all size jobs up to 10,000 square feet direct radiation. On larger installations where more than one Marsh System Unit No. 10 Equalizer and Boiler Return Trap are used, one No. 11 Air Trap is installed for each. The body is of pressed steel with a cast iron cover. The float mechanism is made of non-corrosive metals and the air outlet fitted with a ball check arrangement. The Trap is made in one inch size only. MARSH No. 5 VENT On vapor systems this vent is the air ex pelling unit at the ends of steam mains. It expels air until steam has reached the thermostatic element. When steam reaches this ele ment, it expands upwardly, closing the outlet port pre venting vapor from escaping. This vent is fitted with a float to eliminate the possi bilities of water surging and also a vacuum top feature 10 prevent air from re-entering the system. 848 (s.-P.

MARSH No 8 DRIP TRAP ~ k This trap is continuous in dis- t ''.charge and is designed to ' quickly remove condensation ; : and air from drip points on steam mains, steam risers, steam coils, or blast heaters, or for any / t.like service within the capacity Sp of the trap. The design permits a deep water seal on the discharge valve. This water discharge valve is float controlled and lo cated at a low point in the bot tom of the trap and air is re moved through a thermostati cally controlled port in the cap of the trap. The thermostatic member used is our standard assembly as in the No. 1 Marsh Radiator Trap. Normally air is discharged through a port di rectly to the outlet connections of the trap. In cases where the trap may be required to dis charge to a wet return the air discharge may be connected to a dry return from a special open- CAPACITIES Steam Pressure Capacities in lb. water per hr. 500 1 900 2 1400 3 1600 4 1800 5 2000 10 3200 15 4000 ing tapped in the cap of the trap. Body of trap is provided with one 134-inch tapped inlet and two 134-inch tapped outlet openings. These openings are located so as to permit direct connection both to inlet arid from outlet.. The trap may be suspended directly in the piping and no other supports are necessary: The thermostatic element screws directly in the cap of the trap and is interchangeable with the element from the No. 1 Radiator Trap. All interior parts are of forged bronze castings with the excep tion of the float which is a cast brass float tested for a working pressure of 25 pounds per square inch. Copper asbestos gaskets are used throughout which avoid the necessity of supplying new gaskets whenever trap may be opened for inspection or repair. MARSH No. 12 DRIP TRAP Designed for removal of air and condensation from short steam rnains, branches or risers. Unit heaters, steam coils, etc., are within the limits of the capacity of the trap. The size and weight of the trap permits its installation in the piping without any other means of support. Condensation is re moved through a float operated valve located at the lowest point inside the trap body. Air removal is located in the cap of the trap.
