Description
BVD – Ball Valve Drain
Non-clogging Condensate Drain for Compressed Air Systems
The Automatic Ball Valve Drain is designed for troublefree draining of unwanted accumulations of condensate and other foreign matter from any collection point in a compressed air system.
Designed for the toughest applications, this non-clogging, full-port ball valve drain with a solid state timer. removes condensate, (oil and water) from compressed air systems.
How it Removes Condensate from Compressed Air Systems
The BVD Drain is a non-clogging timer-based condensate drain using a full-port ball valve. A heavy-duty gear-motor housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure ensures a long service life. A solid-state timer module initiates a drain cycle by energizing the gear motor to rotate the ball valve 180° from closed to open and back to a closed position. The drain cycle lasts for approximately 8 seconds during which condensate is drained.
