Automatic Condensate Drains
Reliably and consistently discharge water for a wide range of compressed air applications including compressors, aftercoolers, receiver tanks, filters, and refrigerated air dryers.
Drain valves are commonly used to remove the condensate on either a timed schedule or automated (float operated or electronic sensor) based on the level of condensation.
Removal of condensate from compressed air systems is a critical maintenance requirement. Failure to carry out regular draining results in serious disruption to production schedules, deterioration in product quality, and damage to sensitive pneumatic equipment. Eliminates the risk of human error and possible costly aftermath by providing regular system drainage.

Standard Timer Controlled Drain
AC input that powers air loss with each actuation
Standard timer controllers are the ultimate, high performance, condensate management device. These proven and 100% continuous- duty drains are used globally to perform regular interval drain cycles for compressor tanks and compressed air systems
- Easily adjustable electronic timer
- Direct acting solenoid valve
- Large discharge orifice
- Cost effective
- Test switch, LED on/off indication
- ON Time: 0.5 – 10 Seconds OFF Time: 0.5 – 45 Minutes
- Brass body with stainless steel internals
- Available in High Pressure (up to 4000 psi), Analog and Digital Control, and High Flow
Enclosed Box Drain
AC input that powers air loss with each actuation
The enclosed box drain is similar to the standard timer drain, except it is in an enclosed housing for protection.
- Power-on/off
- Adjustable cycle duration and cycle length
Egg Drain
Mechanical float operated prevents air loss upon actuation
Condensate collects inside the unit through the inlet, gradually causing the ball float to rise. Upon reaching a predetermined height, the ball float opens the pilot valve.
This relieves the pressure chamber above the diaphragm. As a result, the pressure of the condensate lifts the diaphragm, allowing the collected condensate to be discharged.
As the condensate is discharged, the float sinks, closing the pilot valve. Compressed air then flows over the diaphragm, sealing it again.
- Remove condensate without wasting compressed air
- One Inlet and one outlet port
- Aluminum body with stainless steel internals
- Adjustable cycle duration and cycle length
Mechanical No Loss Drain
Mechanical float operated prevents air loss upon actuation
- Same operation as the Egg Drain
- More robust design, long lasting, higher flow discharge
- Three inlet ports and one outlet port
- Manual test function
- Remove condensate without wasting compressed air
- Aluminum body with stainless steel internals
Electronic No Loss Drain
AC input that powers air loss with each actuation
Two sensors (high level, low level) control a valve to remove condensate from compressed air system without discharging costly compressed air. Condensate from the compression process is sensed correctly and discharged.
When condensate level rises in housing, the level is sensed by the high level sensor and the solenoid controlled valve is activated to close the supply line. The diaphragm valve lifts allowing the condensate to be discharged.
- Remove condensate without wasting compressed air
- LED lights to indicate power is ON and to indicate valve is OPEN
- Manual override switches
- NEMA 4 (IP65) enclosure
- Brass body with stainless steel internals
- Long lasting VITON seals
