About Drain Valves

Drain valves are designed to drain condensate from anywhere it collects. They are often used in compressed air systems to prevent damage caused by liquid and sludge. Typically, drain valves are installed downstream of the air compressor, after-cooler, compressed air filters, compressed air dryer, drip-legs, and separators. There are many different types of products. Examples include pneumatic drain valves, all-electric drain valves, electronic drain valves, and motorized drain valves. Product specifications and features are important to consider. For example, demand-activated drain valves do not need to be set or pre-set. Devices with a sealed actuation mechanism are unaffected by rust and pipe scale. Non-clogging products often use rifle-porting to permit strainer-free draining.
