Automatic Drain Valves

Solenoid Electric Drain EDV-115

The inexpensive and reliable Terminator electric automatic drain valve automatically removes condensate from your air system. It has an integral strainer to prevent clogging and saves time and money by eliminating the need for manual draining. The Terminator automatic drain valve also eliminates the need for the wasteful practice of bleeding, or leaving cracked open manual drain valves.

MDV-400I

For dependable draining at consistent intervals choose Sentinel model MDV-400I. A power-on LED and test button are conveniently located on the top cover. To reset the valve, simply adjust the switches on the internal circuit board. Adjustable intervals between valve actuations are 30 minutes to 30 hours. Adjustable draining periods are 5, 10, 15 and 20 seconds.

MDV-400L

If you prefer an easy-to-use keypad for convenient cycle timing adjustments and a handy LCD cycle status readout, choose Sentinel model MDV-400L. You’ll never wonder when it’s set to actuate again with its continuous, clear countdown display of remaining cycle or drain open times. Added features include an external test and valve fault functions, both with LCD readout. Adjustable intervals between valve actuations are 1 minute to 99 hours 59 minutes. Adjustable draining periods are 1 second to 99 minutes 59 seconds.

ROBO-Drain Pneumatic Zero-Loss Drain Valves

The Robo Drain RD Series Drain Valve is a versatile draining system ideal for receivers, dryers, tanks, drop legs, pipes, and any equipment requiring regular condensate removal. With no electricity required for operation, the pneumatically operated RD Series automatic drain valve is well suited for remote or portable applications and is safe to operate in any hazardous area.

As a demand-operated drain, the RD Series Drain Valve automatically does the work of draining for you, eliminating the guesswork of setting the cycle time of the timed drain valve. As condensate levels change, the RD Series automatic drain valve automatically adjusts to drain as needed, without permitting valuable compressed air to escape.

Designed with a full flow ball valve and proprietary pilot valve using a magnet and proximity switch, the RD Series Drain Valve will not clog. This unique pilot valve design allows the control air to be totally separated from the condensate, preventing any attraction of pipe scale. The ball valve eliminates the need to install a strainer. This means better dependability than competitive units.

The see-through vessel allows visual inspection of the condensate. The test button, which is included on both the brass and stainless steel units, make it easy to check valve operation or manually drain the system. There are many versions available in our online store, vertical & horizontal units, extra sump capacity, all stainless steel, high-pressure design and valves for vacuum service.

Zero-Loss Drain Valve

Aircel Ultramat UFM-T zero air-loss condensate drain valve has a compact design allowing for installation in restricted space applications. The UFM-T is designed to open only when necessary and close before any loss of compressed air can occur. The unique internal reservoir and flow channels reduce the possibility of blockage and minimize fouling of the drain valve seat allowing more thorough processing at a downstream oil/water separator.

Optimization of compressed air systems can provide energy efficiency improvements of 20 to 50 percent. One contributor to the inefficient use of compressed air, which can increase cost, is the condensate drain. Liquid condensate, which naturally accumulates in various spots within a compressed air system, must be drained frequently or serious consequences can adversely impact downstream hardware, finished products and the compressed air system itself.

Typical drains that operate on a timer allow compressed air to vent from the systems with every cycle. Timer operated drains will open regardless of how much, or how little, condensate has collected between cycles. In addition, float drains are subject to fouling and allow compressed air to bleed out of the system even when the float is resting in its seat.
