Screw air compressor drain valve accessories and prices

How do air compressor drain valves work?

Air compressor drain valves open when water raises the float to a set point. They have a simple internal design and large openings to prevent clogs. Some valves require an additional line of air to operate, while electric-powered valves have a built-in sensor.

Where should you install drain valves in a compressed air system?

Install drain valves after separators, dryers, filters, and aftercoolers to collect and remove water from your air line. They’re excellent for compressed air systems with high oil content because they resist clogging when water, oil, and sediment combine to form sludge.

How does compressed air drain?

These drain valves, also known as drip legs, automatically open the drain when the bowl begins to fill with condensate. The clear bowl allows you to inspect the contents and keep an eye on the condensate collecting in your compressed air line.

How do air compressor drain valves save energy?

Save energy by minimizing the loss of compressed air. Unlike other drain valves, these only open when they're full and 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.
