Category FAQs

What does the self-cleaning valve do? Its separate lever allows compressed air to flush debris from the inlet strainer. The lever is normally closed and is opened briefly for cleaning; the timer controls routine condensate discharge.

Can the drain be tested without waiting for the next timed cycle? Yes. The unit has a manual test switch.

Where is a condensate timer drain commonly installed? Common locations include air receivers, filters, dryers, separators, and drip legs where condensate needs to be discharged.

What should I check before ordering? Confirm your available voltage, connection size, system pressure, operating temperature, and the interval and discharge settings your application requires.
