How It Works
As compressed air cools in your distribution system, moisture condenses alongside oil carryover and solid particles. The Dropout® auto-drain continuously monitors contaminant levels via a precision float chamber. When liquid reaches the preset threshold, the float actuates a valve that purges accumulated waste through the 1/8" drain port—automatically, silently, reliably.
No timers. No solenoids. No consumables. Just proven mechanical engineering that's been protecting pneumatic systems across manufacturing, automotive, and industrial facilities for decades.
