Steam trap ball float UNA series

Ball float and rolling ball seal for larger condensate volumes

Data sheet

Product information

The UNA series from GESTRA comprises float steam traps for the reliable drainage of large quantities of condensate from steam and gas lines. Thanks to their back pressure-independent operation, these traps are suitable for all operating conditions – from saturated steam to cold condensate.

Special features

  • Ball float with rolling ball end – for jam-free steam traps
  • Independent of back pressure – ideal for changing operating conditions
  • Control units:
    Simplex – for cold condensates
    Simplex R – with continuous venting for rotating cylinders
    Duplex – with automatic venting for saturated steam
  • Optional equipment: manual vent valve, manual lifting device, electrode hood, viewing hood
  • Material variants: steel, ductile iron, stainless steel for corrosive media
  • ATEX-compliant, pressure equipment directive fulfilled

Variants

  • UNA 14 / UNA 16 / UNA 16A – compact design for DN 15-25
  • UNA 45 / UNA 46 / UNA 46A – for large nominal sizes up to DN 65
  • Options: Viewing hood, electrode hood, manual venting, bypass

Advantages

  • Large condensate volumes – ideal for high-load areas
  • Independent of back pressure – more reliable than thermal arresters
  • Automatic venting – duplex design for saturated steam
  • Flexible connection types – flange, butt weld ends, socket weld ends, threads
  • Corrosion-resistant stainless steel option – for aggressive media

Areas of application

  • Steam systems with high condensate volumes
  • Chemical and petrochemical industry
  • Paper and textile industry (rotating cylinders)
  • Power plants and energy systems

Steam traps and plant engineering – Steam traps as system components for SKID units

Armaturenfabrik valves Steam traps, SKID process plants Pipe insulation Angle seat valves and automatic pneumatic control valves

Steam traps are much more than just drainage fittings – they are indispensable functional elements in modern steam, energy and process systems. In SKID systems, they are responsible for the safe, efficient and load-dependent drainage of condensate, thus ensuring trouble-free operation, constant energy efficiency and the protection of sensitive components.


Especially in compact, modular system packages, steam traps must work reliably, handle different pressures and temperatures and be flexibly integrated into any installation situation.
Our steam traps – including thermal versions with diaphragm regulators such as the MK45 from GESTRA – are used as integral system components in SKID and process plant construction and ensure maximum operational reliability even under demanding conditions.

FAQs

Are the UNA arresters suitable for vacuum operation?

Yes, the float control makes them suitable for all operating conditions.

EN 1092-1, ASME B16.5, Pressure Equipment Directive, ATEX-compliant.

Yes, type UNA 16A and UNA 46A are made of stainless steel for corrosive media.

Maintenance is possible without removing it from the pipeline.
