How Did You Install A Drain On Your Air Compressor?

[Sawdustmaker]

I'm a member of the DIY street elbow, pipe ******, and ball valve crowd.

Less is more... reach down, open the valve... when the water stops coming out close the valve.

I built a puke tank for mine using a Folgers can and some kitty litter to capture the rusty water.....

A flap cut in the lid, and a shop rag between the lid and can, allows the pressure to escape / vent.

easy peazy.



Looks good. Think I'll do that to mine too. Thanks.

Ayuh,.... I used a "T" fittin' to have a turn **** drain, 'n a cable spring loaded drain off a class 8 truck,...

A much better idea and way to do this than any turn/ball valve type of rigging. All of those the operator STILL must go to the ground to purge the moisture.

@ zmotorsports,

Even better auto drain, a blast purges at the beginning and end of the recovery cycle. No electric, no waste of pressure as with a timed event.

The elbow seen is the discharge port, brand name Moisture Minder. Compressor stays on 24/7/365, not a drop in the take, using it 10 years now
