/s)Nominal bowl size: 7 fluid

ounce (0.2 liter)
Manual drain connection: Will fit 1/8-27 and 1/8-28 pipe thread.
Automatic drain connection:Will fit 1/8-27 and 1/8-28 pipe thread. - Flexible tube

with 3/16" (5mm) minimum I.D.can be connected to the automatic drain.Drain
may fail to operate if the tube I.D.is less than 3/16" (5mm). Avoid restrictions in
the tube.

Automatic drain operating conditions (float operated):

Bowl pressure required to close drain: Greater than 5 psig (0.3 bar)
Bowl pressure required to open drain: Less than 3 psig (0.2 bar)
Minimum air flow required to close drain: 2 scfm (1 dm

Manual operation: Depress pin inside drain outlet to drain bowl

Materials

Body: Aluminum
Intermediate body: Aluminum
Bowl: Aluminum
Metal bowl liquid level indicator:Transparent nylon
Filter element: Sintered bronze
Elastomers: Neoprene and nitrile

An automatic drain is a two-way valve, which will close when the system is

pressurized.The drain opens when the float rises due to accumulated liquid

and on depressurization.

Typical Performance Characteristics

Service kit contains body o-ring, element gasket, automatic drain
gasket, and bowl o-ring.
