Programmable automatic condensate drain

No more opening the air receiver drain tap. An automatic drain that removes condensed water from air receivers and compressed air networks without anyone having to remember. You set the frequency and duration of the drain cycles to get the water out without wasting air.

Available with 1/4" or 1/2" thread, for fitting directly at the drain point without adaptors. Less water in the installation means less rust, longer-lasting tools and flawless paint finishes.

Key benefits

  • Automatic draining: the water comes out by itself, nothing forgotten.
  • Programmable: adjustable drain frequency and duration.
  • Saves air: short drain cycles at just the right frequency.
  • Two threads: 1/4" or 1/2", no adaptors needed.

What it is for

  • Air receivers on piston and screw compressors.
  • Low points in compressed air networks.
  • Filter bowls, dryers and auxiliary tanks.

How to programme it

Start with frequent, short drain cycles and watch how much water comes out. If only air comes out on each cycle, lengthen the interval; if you see water building up between cycles, shorten it. More water condenses in summer or in humid environments, so review the setting when the seasons change. Fine-tuning gives you dry air with the minimum use of compressed air. That way the air receiver does not collect water even when the compressor runs for many hours.

Technical features

  • Type: programmable automatic drain
  • Thread: 1/4" · 1/2"
  • Settings: drain frequency and duration
  • References: CA-PA1-4 · CA-PA1-2

Vetonek tip: fit a shut-off valve upstream of the drain so you can clean it without emptying the tank. More water condenses in summer: shorten the interval between drain cycles.

What can be programmed?

The frequency and duration of the drain cycles.

Does it waste a lot of air?
