QWORK Automatic Timed Condensate Drain Valve — 2-Way Direct-Acting, 110V AC, 1/4-Inch NPT, for Compressed Air

Overview

The QWORK Automatic Timed Condensate Drain Valve is a compact, two‑way direct‑acting solution designed to manage condensate in compressed air systems. It offers an adjustable time interval (OFF) from 0.5 to 45 minutes and an adjustable discharge time (ON) from 0.5 to 10 seconds, enabling precise moisture control without manual intervention. The unit runs on AC power (110–120V, 50 Hz) and ships with a steel hose and 1/4‑inch NPT connections for straightforward integration into existing layouts.

Built for reliability in demanding environments, this valve brings together practical safety, predictable operation, and flexible installation. Its US plug simplifies setup on standard electrical outlets, while the robust construction supports ongoing use in industrial settings where moisture management matters for downstream equipment and processes.

Key Benefits

• Adjustable timing: Off intervals (0.5–45 minutes) and discharge bursts (0.5–10 seconds) can be tuned to your system’s condensate profile.
• Safety and integrity: A built‑in test button helps verify gas system safety and operation without taking the line offline.
• Operates in tough environments: Wide ambient range from -40°C to 60°C supports use across temperature extremes.
• Power and compatibility: AC 110–120V, 50 Hz operation with a US plug makes it easy to deploy in standard facilities.

Practical Scenarios

Imagine an air compressor line that collects moisture during daily operation. The QWORK valve automatically drains condensate at chosen intervals, reducing moisture buildup in lines, drip legs, and tanks. The 0.5–10 second discharge window allows you to tailor the exact burst needed to keep drains clear without interrupting airflow or triggering downstream equipment.

In environments where extreme temperatures or variable loads are common, this valve’s ability to function reliably from subfreezing to hot industrial conditions helps maintain steady performance. Operators can install the valve at gas tanks, drip legs, or components within a compressed air system and rely on passive, low-maintenance drainage.

Technical Highlights

• Type: 2‑way direct‑acting valve for automatic condensate drainage
• Timing: OFF interval 0.5–45 minutes; ON discharge 0.5–10 seconds (both adjustable)
• Safety: Built‑in test button to verify system integrity
• Environment: -40°C to 60°C ambient range
• Power: AC 110–120V, 50 Hz; US plug
• Connections: 1/4 inch NPT with a steel hose included

Overall, this valve offers a practical approach to condensate management, combining adjustable timing, a safety check feature, and robust operation. It is designed to fit into standard compressed air setups and provide predictable drainage performance without requiring constant supervision.
