Armstrong offers two types of traps for heating, air conditioning, and steam distri bution service.
Standard Inverted Bucket Traps, the type originated by Armstrong, are non airbinding and self-scrubbing. They are used for Tow, medium, and high pressure duty where relatively little air must be handled along with the condensate. Their free-floating lever design makes it possible to open very large discharge orifices com pared with the size and weight of the trap itself.
Armstrong Blast Traps are used where large amounts of air must be vented quick ly when steam is first turned on. The Armstrong Blast Trap (illustrated on next page) consists of a standard inverted bucket trap with a large auxiliary air vent
controlled by a piece of rustless thermo static bi-metal. When the trap is cold, the Auxiliary vent is wide open, allowing air and condensate to blow right through the trap. When steam reaches the trap, the auxiliary vent closes, allowing the bucket to float and close the main valve after the condensate has been discharged.
The Armstrong Blast Trap has several advantages over the conventional float and thermostatic trap,
1. The Armstrong Blast Trap has but a single orifice to be maintained tight against the full pressure differential. The pressure differential across the auxiliary air vent amounts to only 1 ini. to 4 in. of water.
2. Positive action. The discharge valve in an Armstrong Blast Trap is either wide

open or tight shut. Fast opening and fast closing prevent wire-drawing.
3. Handles dirt. There are no dead
spots in an Armstrong Trap in which dirt can settle and interfere with the operation of the trap. No blow-down valves are necessary and ordinarily no strainers are required ahead of Armstrong Traps.
4. The wearing parts in all Armstrong
Traps are identical in design, material, and precision workmanship with parts used in Armstrong Forged Steel Traps for pres-
. sures up to 1500 lb gage and total tempera tures of 850 F. At ordinary heating pressures, Armstrong Traps last many
years without any maintenance expense whatever.

Service Organization. Satisfactory se lection and operation of all Armstrong Traps is assured by 43 district representa tives in the United States, Canada, and Hawaii. Stocks of. Armstrong Traps are carried in all large cities..
THE ARMSTRONG BLAST TRAP
The above picture shows how the Arm strong Blast Trap works when steam is first turned on. Note that the auxiliary vent in the top of the bucket is wide open. Air and water are free to rush straight through until steam comes in and causes the bi-metal strip to bend upward closing the auxiliary vent with the small flat disc. Thereafter it works the same as the standard trap.
