The LEX3N-TZ is a high-performance, temperature-control trap for steam service that has a built-in scale-removal function. An auger is built into the steam trap to remove scale and solids buildup from the valve seat during operation, preventing steam leakage and loss of temperature control. The versatile design of the LEX3N-TZ enables adjustment of the temperature setting between 120 and 390°F, which allows its use as an automatic, non-freeze valve, or as a high-temperature air vent. The durable, stainless-steel construction with over-expansion protection prevents damage to the bimetal element and ensures a long service life. The inline-repairable LEX3N-TZ is available in 0.5-, 0.75- and 1.0-in. NPT (national pipe thread) connection sizes. — TLV Corp., Charlotte, N.C.
