SUNROAD Automatic Electric Tank Drain Kit – Timer-Operated 1/4 NPT Air Drain Valve

Overview

The SUNROAD Automatic Electric Tank Drain Kit offers a hands-off solution for condensate management in compressed air systems. A timer-controlled drain valve opens at your chosen interval to release water, oil, and sediment from the compressor tank. This setup aims to simplify maintenance while helping keep downstream components cleaner and more reliable.

Key features at a glance

• 2-way direct-acting valve for dependable operation
• Adjustable off interval: 0.5 to 50 minutes
• Adjustable discharge time: 0.5 to 10 seconds
• Wide temperature range and IP65 protection for harsh environments
• Strainer and ball valve combination to minimize clogging and allow service isolation
• Includes: flexible drain tube, timer, strainer, adapters, and clamps for easy setup

Design and environmental resilience

The system is designed to operate with a standard AC power supply (110–120 V, 60 Hz) and is rated for ambient temperatures from 32°F to 140°F. Its IP65-rated enclosure helps it tolerate dust and water exposure common in workshop or industrial settings. The timer lets you tailor drainage to the realities of your air system, including condensate and oil content that can form sludge when left unattended.

Practical benefits and use cases

• Automates routine condensate removal, reducing manual maintenance needs
• Supports cleaner downstream lines and potentially longer life for connected valves and components
• Suitable for diverse settings, from small shops to more demanding industrial environments
• Designed to resist clogging when water, oil, and sediment mix over time

Installation and maintenance

Designed for straightforward installation on most air compressors with 1/4 NPT ports, the kit includes essential fittings and a flexible braided drain tube. The integrated strainer helps protect the valve from debris, and the ball valve allows quick isolation during servicing. Routine checks and replacements are simplified by the included components and clear maintenance paths.
