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

/s)
Manual operation: Depress pin inside drain outlet to drain bowl
Nominal bowl size: 7 fluid ounce (0.2 liter)
Materials
Body: Aluminum
Bowl
Transparent: Polycarbonate with steel bowl guard
Metal: Aluminum
Metal bowl liquid level indicator lens: Transparent nylon
Element: Synthetic fiber and polyurethane foam

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.
