Simplified installationOptional horizontal or vertical inlet

with horizontal outlet eliminatesthe need for extra fittings. Makes

installation in existing systemseasier. Vertical inlet is 3/4"

to accommodate air venting.Requires no electricity.

Benefits You Can See

Reduced maintenanceStainless steel internals meancorrosion resistance andreduced maintenance.

Positive seatingFree-floating valve mechanismassures positive seating so itprevents air loss. There are nofixed pivots to wear or createfriction, and wear points areheavily reinforced for long life.

In-line repairabilityIn-line connections andan O-ring seal make forquick, easy repairs withoutdismantling piping. Justunscrew and remove thebody for maintenance.

Reduced need forcleaningRecessed dirt pocket givesdirt a place to accumulateawayfrom the valve seat.Valve seat is 1-1/4" abovethe dirt pocket. Comparedto other ball float drain traps,the Armstrong 1-LDC reducesdirt fouling and needs lessfrequent cleaning.

Efficient operationSimple ball float mechanismdischarges only when liquid

is present so it doesntwaste air.

An inside lookSee-thru body means you

can observe changingconditions as they occur.

Corrosion resistanceLong-lasting polysulfone

body and reinforced nyloncap weigh less than 20% ofcast iron liquid drain traps.Rugged polysulfone resists

corrosion and provideslong, trouble-free service

life.

NOTE: The Armstrong 1-LDC is not recommended for extremely dirty systems or thosewith heavy oil carryover. The drain trap should not be used in an environment wherethere are high levels of ketones or chlorinated or aromatic hydrocarbons.

Now, you can literally see what youve been missingthe early

warning signs of a drain trap or system problem. Since youll know

the operating condition of a drain trap, you wont waste time and

money scheduling maintenance that isnt needed. In other words, you

will be able to react to a condition before it becomes a problem.

A simple ball float mechanism requiring no electricity to operate, the

new Armstrong 1-LDC discharges automatically onlywhen liquid is

present. That means no air loss as with timed devices, which open

even when liquid is not present.

Moisture in a compressed air system causes a variety of problems

everything from dirt fouling and potential corrosion to water hammer.

Getting the water outautomatically, reliablybuilds greater

efficiency into your system. In short, pay attention to your

compressed air system, and youll probably pay less to compress

air.

Compareand Save the DifferenceSeeing really is believingespecially when you compare the

Armstrong see-thru drain trap with cast iron units. Measure the

differences in the time and money you can save with a more

efficient, easier-to-maintain compressed air system. For more

information or technical assistance, contact your local Armstrong

Representative.
