Product Overview
The Spirax Sarco MST21 is a precision-engineered thermostatic steam trap designed for reliable condensate discharge and steam containment in industrial process systems. Utilizing a balanced pressure thermostatic capsule, the MST21 responds to temperature differentials to discharge condensate, air, and non-condensable gases while preventing live steam loss. With a 1/2″ BSP threaded connection, this trap is a direct-fit replacement for OEM installations and is suitable for a wide range of low to medium pressure steam applications. Its compact, robust construction ensures long service life and minimal maintenance in demanding process environments.
