About NICHOLSON

Nicholson is a brand with a long history in steam system components, particularly known for its steam traps and radiator valves. The product line focuses on condensate removal and temperature control in steam and hot water systems, serving industrial, commercial, and institutional facilities. Nicholson’s core offerings include float and thermostatic steam traps, thermostatic radiator valves, and related accessories. The steam traps are available in cast iron, stainless steel, and bronze constructions, with body patterns such as in-line, C-pattern, and H-pattern to suit different piping layouts and space constraints. These traps are designed for horizontal installation and are rated for maximum pressures up to 250 psi and temperatures up to 450°F, with capacities ranging from 500 lb/hr to over 10,900 lb/hr depending on the model. The radiator valves, like the N25-FO series, are temperature-sensitive, angle-body units made from brass and stainless steel, with 3/4 in NPT connections and a 25 psi rating. Nicholson products are built to standard industrial specifications, with materials selected for durability in steam service—cast iron bodies for general use, stainless steel floats and internals for corrosion resistance, and brass for valve trim. 3G Electric supplies a range of Nicholson steam traps and radiator valves, supporting global procurement for plant engineers and maintenance managers who need reliable condensate management and temperature regulation. The inventory includes multiple series—such as the FTN series for float and thermostatic traps and the NFT 250 series for in-line applications—allowing buyers to match capacity, pressure, and connection size to their system requirements. Nicholson’s design emphasizes mechanical reliability, with simple internal mechanisms that reduce maintenance needs. The brand does not rely on electronic controls, making its products suitable for harsh environments where electronics may fail. For procurement specialists, Nicholson offers a straightforward specification path: select by pipe size, pressure rating, capacity, and body pattern. 3G Electric provides access to these components with global logistics support, enabling consistent supply for ongoing operations or retrofit projects.
