Timer-Operated Compressed Air Drain Valves
Set the electronic timer on these drain valves to open automatically at your specified time interval. They’re excellent for compressed air systems with high oil content because they resist clogging when water, oil, and sediment combine to form sludge. Install drain valves after separators, dryers, filters, and aftercoolers to collect and remove water from your air line.
Drain valves that meet NEMA 4 are rated for protection from dirt and washdowns. Drain valves that meet NEMA 4X are rated for protection from dirt, washdowns, and corrosion.
Install optional strainers before drain valves to prevent damage from debris in your pipeline.

Easy-to-Monitor Float-Operated Compressed Air Drain Valves
Keep an eye on condensate collecting in your compressed air line. These drain valves have a clear bowl, so you can see inside to inspect the contents. Also known as drip legs, these have a float that automatically opens the drain when the bowl begins to fill. Install them at low points in your line after separators, dryers, filters, and aftercoolers. Drains can be serviced without removing them from your air line.

Back-Pressure-Operated Compressed Air Drain Valves
When your compressor turns off, it creates back pressure that opens these valves automatically, allowing liquid to escape. Moisture is atomized as it is discharged through the included muffler, eliminating the need for discharge piping. The muffler also minimizes noise. Install drain valves after coolers, separators, dryers, and filters.

No-Air-Loss Compressed Air Drain Valves
Save energy by minimizing the loss of compressed air. Unlike other drain valves, these only open when they're full. They close before the reservoir is completely empty, so no air escapes from the system. Install them at low points in your air line after separators, dryers, filters, and aftercoolers.
Air-powered valves don’t need to be plugged into an electrical outlet. When water raises the float to a set point, these valves open. They have a simple internal design and large openings to prevent clogs. Drain valves with an air pilot require an additional line of air to operate. Install a 5-micron particle filter (sold separately) before the 1- and 3.5-gpm capacity valves.
Electric-powered valves have a sensor. When condensate inside the valve rises to the level of the sensor, the valve opens to drain. Valves detect when they’re blocked—they automatically open and close to attempt to remove the blockage and sound an alarm if they’re still blocked. Drain valves with a contact for remote signaling device can be wired to activate a remote alarm if blocked.

Compressed Air Condensate Separators
When water is condensed out of a compressed air system, it contains oil from the compressor that makes disposal difficult. These separators use two-stage filtration to reduce oil content to below 20 parts per million. Check local codes for disposal requirements. The primary filter removes dirt, sludge, and most of the oil. The secondary filter removes the rest of the oil. Filters remove many synthetic lubricants that can be difficult to remove with other separators. They come with a sticker that indicates when they need to be serviced or replaced.
Separator rated to 60 scfm @ 100 psi is for one-time-use. It is compact and can be mounted to a wall or cabinet with the included brackets.
Separators rated to 120 and 360 scfm @ 100 psi have replaceable filter bags. They have a port for sampling water without disconnecting the outlet piping. Connect up to four compressed air components, such as aftercoolers, separators, and drain valves.
Replacement kits come with a primary and secondary filter bag as well as a new service indicator sticker.
