Swivel connectors significantly reduce installation time by allowing traps to be fitted quickly and accurately without complex pipework. They cut labour costs, minimise downtime, and virtually eliminate alignment errors. Their design also reduces the risk of system leaks, ensuring long-term integrity. In both new installations and retrofits, they provide a cleaner, more efficient method of mounting steam traps.

Benefits of Spirax Sarco Swivel Connectors and Traps.

Key Features

Spirax Sarco swivel connectors allow steam traps to be fitted quickly and accurately without complex pipework. This dramatically reduces installation time and minimises system downtime.

Key Features

Their precision design virtually eliminates alignment errors that often lead to leaks. This ensures long-term system integrity and more reliable steam trap performance.

Key Features

Swivel connectors provide a neat, compact mounting solution for both new installations and retrofits. They create a more efficient layout while reducing labour costs and future maintenance requirements.

The Range

Spirax Sarco Swivel Connectors and Traps are designed to turn what is traditionally a complex steam trap installation into a single, compact “trap station.”

At the heart of the system is the pipeline connector, such as the PC40, PC4000, or PC4001, which is installed directly into the condensate line.

This connector incorporates isolation valves on either side of the trap connection, allowing the trap to be safely removed without shutting down the whole system.

Many models also include integrated depressurisation ports and strainers, meaning the line can be vented, drained, and protected from debris in one unified assembly.

The swivel connector interface ensures the trap mounts in the correct orientation every time, regardless of pipe alignment.

Once the connector is in place, a compatible swivel-mounted steam trap is simply bolted on.

This modular approach allows traps to be replaced in minutes, without cutting pipework or disturbing surrounding components.

During operation, condensate flows through the connector into the trap, which discharges it as normal.

The result is a cleaner, more reliable steam system with faster servicing, fewer leak points, and long-term performance you can trust.

Swivel Connectors and Traps

Spirax Sarco Swivel Connectors and Traps transform steam trap maintenance from a shutdown job into a simple, fast change-out. By combining isolation, alignment, and trap mounting into one compact station, they eliminate messy pipework, cut downtime dramatically, and reduce leak points across the system. It’s a smarter way to build steam lines—cleaner, safer, and engineered for long-term reliability.

A Spirax Sarco swivel connector is a pipeline connector that forms a complete steam trap station in one compact unit. It provides isolation, correct trap alignment, and safe removal without cutting pipework.

The connector is installed into the condensate line, and the compatible steam trap is bolted directly onto it. This ensures the trap is always mounted in the correct orientation.

They allow steam traps to be replaced in minutes without shutting down the system. This dramatically reduces downtime and maintenance costs.

Yes. Most models incorporate upstream and downstream isolation valves, allowing the trap to be safely removed while the system remains live.

Many Spirax Sarco connectors include an integral depressurisation point. This allows trapped pressure to be released safely before removing the trap.

Yes. By eliminating complex site-fabricated pipework and multiple joints, they significantly reduce potential leak paths.

They are ideal for both. They simplify new installations and provide a clean upgrade for existing steam trap stations.

Yes. Spirax Sarco connectors are designed to accept a range of compatible steam trap types, giving flexibility across applications.

Some models feature integrated strainers, protecting the steam trap from debris and extending service life.

They are engineered for high temperatures, pressure, and vibration, making them suitable for demanding plant conditions.

Trap replacement typically takes minutes rather than hours. There is no need to cut pipework, drain lines, or rebuild fittings.

They deliver safer maintenance, faster change-outs, fewer leaks, and consistent installation quality. The result is a cleaner, more reliable steam system built for long-term performance.
