Air Trap

An air trap is a device used in plumbing systems to prevent the flow of air or gas through a pipe, tube, or hose. It is commonly used in applications where it is necessary to remove air or gas from a system, such as in water supply lines, pneumatic systems, or hydraulic systems.

In the supply class Hose, Pipe, Tube, Lubrication, and Railing Fittings, an air trap would typically be a fitting or component designed specifically to trap air or gas and prevent it from flowing through the system. This can help to ensure the proper functioning and efficiency of the system by eliminating air pockets or bubbles that can cause issues such as reduced flow, cavitation, or damage to equipment.

Air traps can come in various forms, including inline traps, check valves, or automatic air vents. They are typically made from materials such as brass, stainless steel, or plastic, depending on the specific application and requirements.

Overall, air traps play an important role in maintaining the performance and reliability of plumbing systems by effectively managing the flow of air or gas.
