Description
This water trap tee is designed to collect and remove moisture from compressed air and pneumatic pipework, helping to protect downstream equipment and improve overall system performance. It provides an effective alternative to traditional swan neck traps, offering a compact and efficient moisture management solution within air ring main systems.
The push-fit design enables rapid, tool-free installation without the need for heat or sealing compounds, reducing installation time and simplifying system assembly. A precision-engineered collet locking system secures the pipe firmly without deformation or flow restriction, while the integrated nitrile O-ring delivers a reliable, airtight seal.
Fully demountable for ease of maintenance, the fitting allows systems to be modified or serviced with minimal downtime. Manufactured from tough engineered plastic, it is compatible with John Guest nylon and powder-coated aluminium air pipe, as well as a wide range of plastic and soft metal pipe materials.
