Frequently asked questions
Common questions about BARNES & JONES from 3G Electric.
What types of steam trap repair kits does Barnes & Jones offer?
Barnes & Jones primarily manufactures float and thermostatic (F&T) repair kits, as well as inverted-bucket and thermostatic cage unit repair kits. Their F&T kits are designed for use with Armstrong Series B traps and Hoffman FT015H series traps, among others. Each kit includes components such as valve seats, discs, gaskets, and springs to restore trap function. The kits are available in multiple sizes to match specific trap models, like the FT15-B2 for 15-B2 traps or the FT30-B8 for 30-B8 traps.
Are Barnes & Jones repair kits compatible with Armstrong steam traps?
Yes, many Barnes & Jones repair kits are designed for compatibility with Armstrong steam traps. For example, the FT15-B2, FT15-B4, FT15-B6, FT15-B8, FT30-B6, and FT30-B8 kits are explicitly listed for use with Armstrong models 15-B2, 15-B4, 15-B6, 15-B8, 30-B6, and 30-B8 respectively. These kits are engineered to match the original dimensions and materials to ensure proper sealing and operation.
What is included in a Barnes & Jones float and thermostatic repair kit?
A typical Barnes & Jones float and thermostatic repair kit contains the necessary wear parts to overhaul a steam trap. This usually includes a valve seat, disc, gasket set, and sometimes a spring or thermostatic element. The exact contents vary by kit model, but all components are selected to meet the original manufacturer's specifications for the target trap. For instance, the FT015H kit for Hoffman traps includes parts specific to that series.
How do I select the correct Barnes & Jones repair kit for my steam trap?
To select the correct Barnes & Jones repair kit, identify the manufacturer and model number of your existing steam trap. For Armstrong traps, note the series (e.g., B) and the size designation (e.g., 15-B2). For Hoffman traps, use the model number like FT015H. Then match it to the corresponding Barnes & Jones part number, such as FT15-B2 for a 15-B2 trap. 3G Electric's product listings include compatible manufacturer model numbers to assist in selection.
Can Barnes & Jones repair kits be used for inverted-bucket steam traps?
While the product samples provided focus on float and thermostatic repair kits, Barnes & Jones also manufactures repair kits for inverted-bucket steam traps. These kits typically include bucket assemblies, valve mechanisms, and gaskets. However, the specific inverted-bucket kits are not listed in the sample products. For inverted-bucket applications, consult the Barnes & Jones catalog or contact 3G Electric for availability.
