Pike's wife purchased the shares on Thursday at an average price of 8,090p each, for a total value of £101,125.
Spirax-Sarco left its full-year forecasts unchanged on Wednesday even as it reported that interim sales growth surpassed expectations, indicating that this would be offset by weakened industrial production growth forecasts for the second half of the year.
The steam management systems manufacturer said profit before tax for the six month period ended 30 June came in at £108.1m, 1.0% higher than for the same period last year, as revenue climbed by 8.0% to £591.2m.
As of 1630 BST, Spirax-Sarco shares had dipped 1.79% to 7,950p.
