Description
The Watson McDaniel TD600-13-N Thermodynamic Steam Traps are most commonly used in drip applications, such as draining condensate from steam mains and steam supply lines. They can also be used for steam tracing applications. These Watson McDaniel traps are suitable for outdoor applications that are subject to freezing as well as superheated steam conditions. Not only that, but they are also compact and rugged with only a single moving part. If a trap with an integral strainer is desired, the TD600S is recommended. If a fully in-line repairable design is required, the TD700S or the UTD450 with Universal Quick Change connector is recommended.
When it comes to the operation of this steam trap, disc is the only moving part inside a thermodynamic trap. When steam enters the trap, it creates an internal pressure above the disc that instantly forces the disc to close tightly on the seat, preventing the steam from escaping. The internal steam pressure (holding the disc and seat shut) eventually drops, and the trap re-opens. When condensate enters the trap, it pushes the disc upwards, allowing the condensate to freely discharge. If steam is present, the trap instantly shuts.
TD600 Features:
- High pressure applications up to 600 PSIG
- Hardened stainless steel seat and disc for extended service life even at high pressure
- Single trap will operate over the entire pressure range of 3.5-600 PSIG (recommended above 30 PSIG)
- Suitable for superheated steam
- Freeze-proof when trap is piped in a vertical orientation for complete drainage of condensate
- Three-hole balanced discharge extends life of the seat area
- Trap will function in any orientation (horizontal preferred)

TD600 Installation:
The TD600 can be installed in any orientation; however, horizontal with cap facing upward is preferred for longest service life. The one piece Body-Seat design is extremely simple and economical; however, this configuration is generally considered non-repairable since the seat cannot be repaired if damaged or worn. Welding of trap body directly into pipeline is not recommended since excessive heat may cause distortion of the seat area. The TD600 does not contain an integral strainer and separate strainer should therefore be installed to protect from dirt and pipe scale. If a fully in-line repairable design or a trap that can be welded into pipeline is desired, the TD700S, TD900S or the UTD450 with Universal Quick-Change connector is recommended.
