Steam Heater
Verify proper operation by performing audible check with mechanic stethoscope. Steam trap should be heard intermittently discharging or a steady "bubbling" through the bucket vent if under low load. (Expect this steam trap to be under low load due to it's location downstream of Steam Heater Spence Valve.)
