    Yes — but I honestly don't know the make and model. Any markings on it?

    what does the supply valve look like? i bet it is some sort of water seal or ball type seal for a vapor system.

    According to the video it is not a trap, but a water seal.

    Certainly not a thermostatic steam trap.
