Blast Trap

Steamhead (in transit)

is just a very large trap that can handle a lot of condensate. It's probably a large thermostatic trap connected to some Vento stacks or duct coils. Let us know what you find there.

You're thinking

of an inverted bucket trap. I got the blast trap definition from an old ASHVE Guide, but I suppose you could use any type of trap that could handle the load.
