Commonly of carbon steel construction Made completely from high grade stainless steel Have moving parts that wear out Have NO moving parts to wear out Needs spare parts on a regular basis Never requires spare parts Specialist testing required on regular and ongoing basis No complicated testing required Requires ongoing maintenance Maintenance free Affected by thermal shock or water hammer Unaffected by thermal shock or water hammer Single internal strainers Dual internal strainers Specific mounting positions Can be mounted in any postion Cost over lifespan is less than 20% of the cost of conventional Cost over lifespan is 5 times more than Delta Venturi trap steam traps Average lifespan of 1 - 5 years Average lifespan of 20 - 30 years 1 year guarantee 20 year guarantee
