Auto Drain Valve 115V 1/4"NPT 4.0 GPM w/ strainer
Prevent catastrophic rust formation and pneumatic line freeze-ups with the genuine Midwest Control Condensate Drain (Part #: MCDV25). Engineered for maximum reliability under extreme duty cycles, this automated electronic drain valve is a critical replacement component utilized inside the Auto-Drain Kit setups for the primary air compressors at Tommy Car Wash Systems.
A commercial car wash backroom relies heavily on clean, bone-dry compressed air to actuate tunnel cylinders, gate valves, and foaming equipment. This programmable valve automatically purges the heavy water accumulation (condensate) out of your main air receiver tanks, filters, and drip legs. By automatically clearing collected moisture at timed intervals, it safeguards downstream pneumatic components from corrosion, seal deterioration, and sudden performance failure.
Key features and benefits include:
- Automated Moisture Elimination: Completely removes manual maintenance needs by automatically venting accumulated tank condensation on a precise schedule.
- Fully Adjustable Dual Timers: Features integrated solid-state dials to control the purge frequency (0.5 to 45 minutes) and open duration (0.5 to 10 seconds).
- Rugged Forged Brass Body: Built with a dense, corrosion-resistant brass housing and a 4.5mm internal orifice to handle scale, rust particles, and oil residue without jamming.
- Backroom Washdown Protection: Encased in a flame-resistant ABS housing rated NEMA 4 / IP65 to easily survive wet, humid car wash utility rooms.
- Manual Diagnostics Button: Includes an integrated tactile "Test" switch, allowing maintenance crews to check line clearance and valve operation instantly.
