  • Steam trap and valve assembly station
    Patent number: 11460152
    Abstract: A manifold for a steam system is provided with a body forming a first chamber extending between an inlet and an outlet along a first axis and a second chamber extending from a face of the body along a second axis to intersect the first chamber. A first piston valve sub-assembly is disposed in the second chamber to enable and disable steam communication between the second chamber and a first port. A second piston valve sub-assembly is disposed in the second chamber to enable and disable steam communication between the second chamber and a second port. A handle is mounted for rotation relative to the face. A valve stem is connected to the handle and mounted for translation within the second chamber in response to rotation of the handle between four positions to individually activate and deactivate the first piston valve sub-assembly and the second piston valve sub-assembly.
