Model 3196 CC is a close-coupled version of model 3196 ANSI process pump and is designed for general industrial service where space is limited or the cost of a frame-mounted pump is prohibitive. While the pump is not designed to meet ANSI B 73.1, it will meet some of the requirements because the liquid end has all the features and benefits of ANSI 3196.

High-pressure steam traps

SH Trap Series are designed for exceptional performance in severe high-pressure/temperature superheat applications. They can be used at pressures up to 1500 psi and temperatures to 1050 F. The traps are maintainable due to easily accessible internals, which significantly reduce the requirement for entire trap replacement.
