Feature: Float-operated automatic drain valve opens when the system is pressurized and closes as condensate is expelled. Business Impact: Eliminates the need for manual draining, reducing maintenance labor and condensate carryover to protect downstream components. Application: Install at low points or the far end of a piping network to capture condensate at its source. Feature: Standard G1/2 port size and a maximum inlet pressure of 10 bar. Business Impact: Easy integration with common pneumatic fittings and robust performance in typical plant air systems, lowering installation time and risk. Application: Fits most shop floor lines and adapters, enabling rapid upgrades without custom hardware. Feature: Zinc body, polycarbonate bowl, and nitrile elastomer seals. Business Impact: Durable, corrosion-resistant construction with a transparent bowl for condensate visibility, minimizing unexpected leaks. Application: Suitable for heavy-duty industrial environments where quick inspection is required. Feature: Operating temperature range of -20 to 50 °C. Business Impact: Versatile across indoor facilities, outdoor enclosures, and temperature-controlled rooms, reducing climate-related failures. Application: Ideal for mixed environments where ambient conditions vary. Feature: Compact footprint (61 mm H x 162 mm L x 61 mm W) and light weight (0.34 kg). Business Impact: Enables installation in tight spaces and near critical equipment, increasing compatibility across existing layouts. Application: Low-point drains in compact pneumatic networks without compromising access for routine maintenance.

FAQs
Install the 17-816-999 at a low point in the piping network using standard G1/2 fittings. Ensure the drain is oriented to allow condensate to flow into the bowl, with the bowl visible for condensate level checks. Verify system depressurization before maintenance and check the seals for any wear during commissioning.
Key specs include a G1/2 port size, automatic drain type, operating temperature -20 to 50 °C, maximum inlet pressure of 10 bar, zinc body, polycarbonate bowl, and nitrile rubber elastomer seals. Dimensions are 61 mm height, 162 mm length, and 61 mm width, with a weight of 0.34 kg.
The unit uses a durable zinc body and polycarbonate bowl with nitrile elastomer seals, offering robust performance in many industrial environments. However, electrical or environmental certifications and IP ratings are not listed in the provided data, so verify site-specific compliance and enclosure protection before outdoor use.
Yes. The float-operated automatic drain expels condensate without manual intervention, reducing water carryover and corrosion risk. Installing at low points or distant network locations helps minimize moisture-related issues, improving system uptime and extending the lifespan of downstream components.
