Mepco (Dunham Bush) ML9897 Mechanism Assembly
For steam system maintenance on Series 44 Float and Thermostatic Traps, the Mepco (Dunham Bush) ML9897 Mechanism Assembly provides a complete internal rebuild solution. This internal mechanism with gasket is engineered specifically for Mepco 44-215 and 44-415 models, ensuring precise condensate management. As a steam trap repair kit, the ML9897 replaces the critical moving components, including the stainless steel float, lever, and seat, to restore original factory performance. In high-demand HVACR industrial heating environments, failing trap internals lead to steam loss or water hammer; swapping the entire trap mechanism assembly ensures that the seat and linkage are perfectly aligned. This F&T trap rebuild eliminates the need for full valve replacement, allowing contractors to maintain system integrity with minimal downtime. By installing a new float and gasket assembly, you ensure the modulated discharge of condensate while preventing live steam from escaping the return lines.
Key Benefits for the Contractor- Direct Compatibility: Drop-in replacement for Dunham Bush 44-215 and 44-415 traps, ensuring 100% mechanical alignment without field modifications.
- Complete Internal Overhaul: Includes the internal mechanism and the essential cap gasket to create a leak-proof seal during reassembly.
- High-Grade Construction: Features a stainless steel float and durable lever assembly designed to withstand corrosive condensate and thermal cycling.
- Improved System Efficiency: Restores proper condensate drainage and air venting, reducing energy waste and preventing "water-logging" in heat exchangers.
Can I use the ML9897 in older Dunham Bush 40 Series traps?
The ML9897 is the direct successor for the 40-215 and 40-415 models. Mepco (formerly Dunham Bush) designed the 44 Series internals to be backward compatible with these legacy 40 Series trap bodies.
What are the signs that my F&T trap mechanism has failed?
Look for cold equipment (traps failed closed/blocked) or elevated return line temperatures (traps failed open/blowing steam). If the float assembly is water-logged or the seat is wiredrawn, a full mechanism replacement is required.
Is the gasket included in this kit?
Yes, this is an internal mech w/ gasket kit. It includes the necessary perimeter gasket for the trap cap to ensure a pressure-tight seal after the repair kit installation.
