The patented Stainless Steel Trap Valve Station (TVS) is ideally suited for any steam piping installation. Since most of the piping joints needed to properly install a steam trap and shut-off valves are eliminated, typical required space is reduced by 16 in., and installed costs are significantly lower, says the manufacturer. The TVS 4000 is a connector that packages two piston-style isolation valves, test valve and stainless-steel strainer with blowdown valve into one connector. This connector can accommodate a choice of either inverted bucket, disc, thermostatic or thermostatic wafer-style steam traps. — Armstrong International, Three Rivers, Mich.
