Air Compressor Tank Drains

Air Compressor Tank Drains

Prevent rust and extend the life of an air compressor's tank with automated and self-cleaning drains. Tank drains release the inevitable moisture that accumulates in the pressure tank, controlling corrosion and providing a drier air supply. Our selection ranges from basic check valves to completely programmable electronic drain valve for the receiver tank. Air compressor tank drains remove built-up moisture from the compressor’s air tank, preventing corrosion, rust, and damage to the system.

As compressed air cools, water vapor naturally condenses inside the tank, and without regular draining, this moisture reduces efficiency, contaminates tools, and may even shorten the compressor’s lifespan. Tank drains come in manual and automatic options, manual drains require the user to open a valve periodically, while automatic drains handle the process on a set schedule or when moisture is detected. Keep the tank properly drained to improve performance and ensure a longer-lasting air compressor.
