Atlas Drain Valve 1622379881 for Air Compressor Systems

A Drain Valve is a crucial component designed for periodic or continuous removal of unwanted accumulations—such as water, condensate, sludge, sediment, or other contaminants—from the lowest points of pressurized systems. By efficiently ejecting these impurities, drain valves protect equipment from corrosion, water hammer, contamination, and efficiency loss, ensuring system integrity and product purity.

• Efficient & Complete Drainage: Designed for full-bore, low-resistance drainage to prevent pooling and contamination.
• Robust Construction: Manufactured from durable materials including brass, stainless steel (304/316), and thermoplastics (PP, PVDF) for excellent corrosion resistance.
• Reliable Sealing: Features high-quality seals (EPDM, FKM, NBR, or PTFE) that provide bubble-tight closure.
• Multiple Actuation Types:
  • Manual: Simple hand-operated design (knob, lever, or button)
  • Solenoid-Operated: Electrically actuated for automatic, remote control
  • Float-Operated: Mechanically automatic operation based on liquid level
• Compact & Easy to Install: Standard threaded (NPT, BSP) or flanged connections for easy integration.
• Safe Operation: Many models include tamper-proof features or locking mechanisms.

The operating principle depends on the valve type:

• Manual Drain Valves: Operator opens valve manually, allowing system pressure to force accumulated liquid out.
• Automatic Float Valves: Float mechanism opens valve when liquid reaches predetermined level.
• Solenoid Drain Valves: Electrical signal energizes solenoid to open valve, often timed for regular intervals.

Drain valves are essential in systems where moisture or contamination collects:

• Compressed Air Systems: Aftercoolers, air receivers, filters, and drip legs
• Process Tanks & Vessels: Mixing tanks, reactors, and storage vessels
• Fuel and Lubrication Systems: Fuel storage tanks and lubricating oil reservoirs
• Steam Systems: Drip legs on steam lines
• Cooling Systems: Radiators, intercoolers, and HVAC systems
• Filtration Housings: Water, fuel, and oil filters
• Marine & Automotive: Bilge draining and engine block drains

• Uncompromising Reliability: Engineered for thousands of cycles to reduce system failures.
• Material Expertise: Right body and seal material for your specific media.
• Optimized for Purpose: Solutions for both simple manual and fully automated needs.
• Low Maintenance Design: Easy-to-service components minimize downtime.
• Cost-Effective Protection: Small investment protects expensive downstream equipment.
