Failure to routinely drain your compressed air system, manually or by other means, can have catastrophic results. Compressed air systems can become grossly contaminated just because a simple duty has been neglected. The Moisture Minder EDV automatic drain is an innovative solenoid design. The valve body incorporates a self-cleaning feature where a fixed strainer screen removes contaminants before reaching the valve orifice. The only maintenance required is to open the control valve periodically. The full flow would then be redirected from a 90° position to a straight through direction which cleans the filter screen of collected contaminants with a short blast. FEATURES BENEFITS Built in strainer Save $$$ - no additional strainer or parts needed 1/4 turn ball valve No disassembly of strainer to clean - self cleaning Dual size inlet Can accommodate 1/4” I.D. or 1/2” O.D NPT thread sizes Large 4mm internal orifice Non fouling Internal armature and shaft made from stainless steel Will not corrode Unique mounting system Many options for mounting valves - compressors, dryers and filters Dual internal drain ports Slows down velocity of fluids reducing contamination in strainer screen Ball valve used as manual tank or filter drain Required by some Local, State or Federal codes Solid state adjustable timer with test button Reliable: allows for verification of valve operation Valve design allows for disassembly Most drain valves cannot be serviced and are throw-a-ways.
