About this item

• What's a Compressor Auto Drain Timer Valve — A device that automatically removes water from an air compressor tank on a timer — no manual draining, no rust, no damaged tools. Every time a compressor runs, it pulls moisture from the air and traps it inside the tank. This automatic timed condensate drain valve releases that water on a set schedule, so manual draining is no required.
• WILL THIS FIT MY COMPRESSOR? — This air compressor auto drain valve with 1/4" connection. But also packed with 1/4"-3/8" bushiing and 1/4"-1/2 "bushiing. So it fit the standard drain port threads found on most residential and commercial air compressors. If the compressor has a drain port at the bottom of the tank, this valve is compatible.
• Is Automatic Compressor Drain Kit Hard To Install? — Simple installation process. All fittings are included. Thread this electronic timed drain valve onto the existing drain port and plug it in. Most installations take under 10 minutes with basic hand tools. No plumber, technician, or special skills are required.
• DOES IT REQUIRE ONGOING ADJUSTMENT? — No ongoing adjustment is needed. Set the drainage interval once on the built-in timer, and this compressor auto drain timer valve handles the rest — draining moisture at regular intervals every day without further intervention.
• HOW OFTEN DOES IT DRAIN? — The interval is fully adjustable. The built-in timer on this timed drain valve allows the user to set both the frequency and duration of each drain cycle. Light users may set it to drain twice a day; heavy shop users may prefer every few hours. It adjusts to the compressor's workload.
• IS IT LOUD OR DISRUPTIVE? — The automatic electric drain valve opens briefly at each interval, releases water, and closes again. The cycle takes only a few seconds and produces minimal noise — much quieter than the compressor itself.
• WHY IS THIS NEEDED? — Trapped water causes rust inside the tank, contaminates compressed air, and damages tools like spray guns, nail guns, and air ratchets. This automatic electronic timed air tank drain valve removes moisture before it becomes a problem — silently and automatically, every single day.
• Do Compressor Auto Drain Timer Valves require maintenance? — Yes, Check the Solenoid Valve – Inspect the solenoid coil quarterly for debris or moisture buildup that could prevent proper drainage cycles. Inspect the Drain Outlet – Ensure the outlet isn't clogged with mineral deposits or sediment. Clean the debris in the drain filter. Check Hose Connections – Examine braided hoses and quick-connect fittings for leaks, cracks, or loose connections every 6 months. Test the LED Indicator verify it lights up during drain cycles to confirm power and proper operation.
• What does the 12-hour timer mean? "The 12-hour timer means the valve automatically opens and drains water from your compressor tank every 12 hours (or any interval you set from 1-12 hours). This removes moisture that would otherwise rust your tank and contaminate your pneumatic tools."
• What's the advantage of a 12-hour timer ? The 12-hour setting reduces compressed air loss (vents less frequently), minimizes solenoid drain valve 120volt wear (fewer activation cycles), and is ideal for overnight or weekend operations.
