I'm looking to replace a couple of old Warren Webster traps but can't come up w/ a cross ref. First one is #0023 "Vent trap" 1" and the other is 00TRB1 "Boiler return trap" any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Why would they need replacing?

    Neither one has a thermostatic element that wears out.

    The vent trap is an air vent with a float-operated valve to prevent the escape of water if it backs up that far. It probably has a vacuum check in the top, which can be unscrewed to remove it. Since vacuum checks are only effective with coal firing, they should be removed.

    The Return Trap is really a pressure-powered pump which makes sure the water can be returned to the boiler if the pressure rises beyond where gravity can return the water by itself. Nowadays we can limit boiler pressures more effectively with a Vaporstat, but a Return Trap could still serve as a backup.

    The Tunstall people can overhaul these units if needed.

    I'm sorry, I fired off a solution without reading better

    I was thinking you meant Individual radiator traps. Listen to Steamhead. Mad Dog
