Traps & Steam Specialties
TLV steam traps, valves, separators and condensate-recovery solutions engineered for energy savings and long service life.
Steam Traps
TLV Free Float® (SS Series)
TLV pioneered the perfect-sphere valve mechanism, supported by high-precision production. The Free Float is simple — one moving part — yet remarkably durable, with excellent sealing for continuous discharge, ideal for processes.
- Longer service life & greater energy savings
- Improved quality and productivity
- Enhanced environmental conservation
Thermodynamic Steam Traps (Disc-Type)
Traps that use the difference in the thermodynamic properties of condensate and steam — commonly known as disc traps.
Thermostatic Steam Traps (L-Series)
Traps that use the temperature difference between steam and condensate — also called temperature-control or balanced-pressure traps.
TLV PowerTrap®
A condensate-recovery mechanical pump with integral trap that requires no electricity.
- Pressure
- Vacuum – 200 psig
- Temperature
- 32 – 392°F
Valves, Filters & Separators
Pressure Reducing Valves
For steam and air, in a wide assortment of models including pilot-operated, direct-acting, and models with integral separators and steam traps.
- Pressure
- -12 – 300 psig
- Temperature
- 32 – 428°F
Filters
All-stainless filter with built-in cyclone separator that efficiently removes condensate and impurities from the flow medium — no moisture droplets and a longer cleaning/replacement cycle.
- Pressure
- 0 – 150 psig
- Temperature
- 32 – 365°F
Cyclone Separators
Remove entrained water from air or steam during transport. Various types from integral-trap models to compact stainless designs, all supporting inline installation.
- Pressure
- 0 – 550 psig
- Temperature
- 32 – 650°F
Check Valves
Check valves for steam and other fluids. Disc-and-spring construction assures stable performance in vertical or horizontal pipelines, automatically preventing backflow.
- Pressure
- 0 – 425 psig
- Temperature
- -148 – 662°F
Air Vents
Air vents for liquid and for steam — automatic air-removal valves using the same reliable technology as our steam traps.
- Pressure
- 1 – 300 psig
- Temperature
- 32 – 455°F
Condensate Recovery Pumps
TLV PowerTrap® Condensate Recovery Pumps
Mechanically operated by steam or compressed air with no electricity required:
- GT Series (closed system) — eliminates pooled condensate inside equipment; ideal for transporting high-temperature condensate from low- to high-pressure areas.
- GP Series (open systems) — collects and transports condensate from multiple pieces of equipment to recover heat energy and recycle treated water; requires a separate steam trap per unit and a vent line for flash steam.
Inspection Tools
TLV Pocket TrapMan® PT3
An all-in-one inspection device that automatically diagnoses steam-trap condition and internal valve leakage from simultaneous temperature and ultrasonic-vibration measurement.
- On-site inspection of steam traps and valves
- Condition monitoring of bearings, pumps and rotating equipment
- RFID tag reading with the CMRecorder app
