fella brought this picture in and ask if we knew what the cost to replace it is....
I found out the operating press. is 50 lbs and I will get pipe size, capacity and application. But I haven't ever seen a trap like this? I told him to take the lid off and take a picture of the insides....
Anybody have any experience with this type? Can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance!

Not a great picture....
but it looks like a Bestobell delta element trap. Maybe a GM3.

There are many companies that make this type of trap. Try Gestra or Spirex Sarco. It is a thermostatic with dynamic clack type trap. I hope that picture is from the overhead and the trap station is not mounted in the vertical.0
