The Series 521 Inverted Bucket Steam Trap in now available! The 521 is a Forged Carbon Steel IB that is well suited for horizontal installations that have smaller capacities at higher pressures. Series 521 replaces Series 421 IB and 421 will no longer be available. The body and cap of the 521 is made from A105 (Carbon Steel) and the 421 had a WCB cap making the acceptance easier in the HPI/CPI market.
