Steam trap?

Hello - Can anyone identify the two brass devices (after the ball valves) in this photo? They are piped to what was probably originally a wet return line in a 1-pipe system, and they discharge into a condensate set, so they are probably supposed to keep the wet return line wet. I could not read any markings on them. Thanks for any info you can provide.

    That's a new one on me. Are there any names on them?

    I think those are check valves or some type of float trap.

    what is the name on the cap on the trap that is shown in the lower right in the picture? may be the same brand as they look the same color.

    Maybe send a picture to Tunstall Associates or Barnes and Jones.

    There piped like traps but they don't look like traps
