Steam traps problem

John G. Merritt

Thank You Steamhead!!
You sure saved me a lot of problems.
I have Dans Books, and have read the first one twice but must have missed or forgot the Bromell Trap part.
Will go back and look it up.
Tunstall, inc will be a big help. Thanks again.

Steam trap problems

Hi Fellas!
Got a job replacing 24 steam traps. The existing traps are Bromell Vacuum Company traps. I asked Hoffmam specialty Co. who said they could not locate such a company.
I would like to just replace the elements & not the whole body, if possible. These are 3/4 Radiator traps.
Anybody ever hear of Bromell?
Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks,
John

was made by the Vapor/Vacuum Heating Company, an old system manufacturer located in Philadelphia. Their early systems had water seals rather than traps. These are covered in Dan's "The Lost Art of Steam Heating" and "The Lost Art of Steam Heating Companion" which are available on the Books and More page of this site. Get them if you haven't already, they're well worth it.

I still run into their gear around Baltimore, even after all these years. Mr. Tunstall should be able to supply parts for them, or direct you to someone who can.
