A steam trap valve assembly designed to be connected to a steam piping system to trap and remove water of condensation, air and other gasses from the steam piping system while preventing the escape of steam therethrough. The assembly comprises a housing having an upper inlet and a lower outlet, a buoyant float element within the housing and movable between raised, outlet-open position and lowered, outlet-closed position in which it seals the outlet in the absence of sufficient condensate in the housing to float the buoyant element. The float element is connected to the housing by means of a thermostatic member which maintains the float element in a raised, outlet-open position when cool but which releases the float element into lowered position, when heated, to seal the outlet in the absence of sufficient condensate in the housing to float the buoyant element.
