A selection of products

The Spirax Sarco range at Armaturenfabrik

We trade in Spirax Sarco valves and supply directly from the manufacturer range. The series below are a selection, not a limit: we can source the complete Spirax Sarco range, including series not listed here. Enquire with the type designation, nominal size and operating data, and we will check availability and delivery time.

Steam traps: design according to the operating case

The design depends on the condensate quantity and the load behaviour. A ball float steam trap discharges continuously and independently of pressure and temperature – the choice for large and fluctuating quantities. A balanced pressure thermostatic steam trap is compact and robust and suits trace heating and branch lines.

Air release valves: soft-seated or metal-seated

Both designs are float-controlled and work without auxiliary power. The difference lies in the closure: soft-seated closes particularly reliably under moderate conditions, metal-seated withstands high pressure and high temperature.

DCV check valve

The DCV is a wafer-type disc check valve for installation between flanges, with a bronze body, PN 16, DN 15 to DN 100. The universal centring cast onto the body allows installation between DIN and EN flanges from PN 6 to PN 16. Permissible are 16 bar at 120 °C and 260 °C at 7 bar; it is used for vapours, gases and liquids.

Optional: adaptations to Spirax Sarco valves

As a rule we supply Spirax Sarco products unchanged from the manufacturer range. Where the project requires it, the following can be added for Spirax Sarco:

  • flanged connection instead of female thread, ASME flanges on request
  • connection for a drain valve on the FT47
  • works certificates and additional test documentation
  • assembly into units with strainer, shut-off valve and documentation

FAQs

Can Spirax Sarco products be customized?

Yes – material and connection variants are possible, for example a flange instead of a female thread.

For steam and condensate systems, hot water plant and process lines.

Yes, on request as an assembly with strainer and shut-off valve – the standard case is supply of the series version.

After the technical clarification comes the quotation with type designation, materials and delivery time. For Spirax Sarco we clarify connection dimensions and approvals before ordering.

Because of the high reliability, quality and specialisation in steam and condensate technology – from the valve through to the air vent – and our experience as a partner.
