Water Traps and Pigtail Siphons A water trap is a device that allows gas and air to pass but holds back water. Pigtail Siphons Industrial factories utilize steam as a pressurized fuel for energy consumption. This steam needs to be regulated by a gauge‚ but the gauge must have a way of being safe from the powerful heat and pressure of the steam itself. This is where pigtail siphons (or siphons) come in. Function Pigtail siphons are looped pipes filled with water that are placed in piping configurations
