## Description

QWORK Automatic Timed Condensate Drain Valve 1/2" NPT Inlet 1/4" Outlet – Programmable Electric Air Drain for Compressor Tanks, Dryers & Filters: desertcart.com: Tools & Home Improvement

Review: They do a good job - I bought this for my 80 gallon twin cylinder two stage air compressor with 5 hp motor. It’s getting older and I decided to let the moisture out the easy way. These work great! Every set period of time (variable) the solenoid activates and drains moisture out of the tank. This cleans the air for outside use and prevents rust inside the tank. I recommend these units.
Review: Safe, effective, necessary air system component. - Being busy and forgetful, I often forget to drain the water build up from my compressor. This automatic drain solves the problem. Water causes damage to the compressor as well as the air powered tools. Water can crea problems while painting and using blast media. Simple screw in and power up operation with minimal configuration is required. While 150 psi isn't all that much pressure the sturdy construction of this drain promotes safe usage especially considering the really competitive pricing.

- COMPATIBLE PORT SIZE: Inlet 1/2" NPT Male, Outlet 1/4" NPT Female, fits most air compressor systems
- EASY INSTALLATION: Includes hose, elbow, and sealing tape; connect and adjust knobs to start draining

### ⭐ Parts are incompatible!
*by G***H on February 13, 2026*

The seller may not have even tried his own product—some parts are 1/2inch straight thread, and others 1/2 inch tapered thread. They don’t work together—don’t hold air. I can’t tell you if this gadget works at all, because I gave up on it, too late to return it. The directions are incomprehensible, with references to things like “lizard electricity” and “ensure the platoon”. I had no idea what they were trying to say, in some parts. At best, some sections were vague, but at least the words fit.
