Abstract
A condensate trap (2) comprises a valve disposed within a casing comprising a peripheral wall (3) and end walls (6,7). Each end wall has an aperture (9,10) for the passage of fluid into and out of the casing, the end walls having mutually parallel flat end surfaces (14) for clamping between two flanges (5) in a fluid line (4). Connection means (11,12) external to the condensate trap (2) connect the flanges (5) allowing simple installation and removal of the trap (2) in existing fluid lines which include a flanged connection.
