Sunroad Automatic Electric Tank Drain Kit — Timer-Operated 1/4in NPT Valves with Braided Tube

Overview

The Sunroad Automatic Electric Tank Drain Kit is designed to help manage condensate in compressed air systems. Featuring timer‑operated 1/4in NPT valves, a flexible braided drain tube, and a robust ball valve strainer, this kit offers a practical approach to automatic drainage without constant manual attention.

How it works

Set the electronic timer to open the drain at your chosen interval. A brief discharge then releases condensate, helping to keep the tank area cleaner and reduce the chance of downstream buildup. The design emphasizes reliability in oilier condensate environments by resisting common clogging when moisture mixes with oil and sediment.

• 2‑way direct‑acting valve enables dependable opening and closing
• Adjustable OFF interval (0.5 to 50 minutes) and ON discharge window (0.5 to 10 seconds)
• Designed to resist clogging in mixed water, oil, and sediment scenarios
• Wide temperature range from 32F to 140F with IP65 protection for tough environments
• Strainer/ball valve combo helps prevent debris entry and supports easier servicing

Durability and installation

Powered by AC supply (110–120V, 60Hz) with a three‑prong plug, this kit is built for durable, ongoing operation. The included parts simplify installation and maintenance, allowing you to isolate components during service when needed.

• Flexible drain tube with elbow for adaptable routing
• Comprehensive package includes timer, strainer/valve, adapters, barb fittings, clamps, and thread seal tape
• Prepares for quick mounting and connection to standard air systems

Real‑world use and benefits

Ideal for shop and light industrial air systems where condensate management supports equipment longevity and cleaner downstream performance. The kit presents a practical solution that users may find beneficial in routine maintenance workflows, though results can vary by setup and operating conditions.

What you get

In addition to the timer valve and braided tube, you receive a comprehensive set of fittings and accessories to streamline installation and service. The kit is designed to be a self‑contained solution that can be integrated with existing compressors and filtration stages.
