Condensate Drain Valve Aerotec 2005001ZLOSE — 1/2" connection

Condensate drain valve Aerotec 2005001ZLOSE — 1/2" connection is a compact metal drain designed to remove condensate from compressed air systems and related installations. The device provides an automatic discharge path for accumulated water and oil-water mixture in condensate collection points, helping to protect downstream pneumatic tools, air dryers, filters and storage tanks. The standard 1/2" threaded connection allows straightforward installation in industrial and workshop piping or vessels.

Advantages

The Aerotec condensate drain features a durable metal construction and a compact form factor suitable for confined spaces. Its 1/2" threaded connection matches common piping sizes, simplifying replacement or retrofit work. The design provides reliable condensate evacuation to reduce corrosion, prevent freezing in low temperatures and maintain the efficiency of air treatment equipment. The valve requires minimal maintenance and is compatible with typical compressed air system condensate containing water and light oil residues.

Suitable for

• Compressed air systems in workshops and light industrial facilities
• Air receivers, filters and separators
• Piping runs and drop legs where condensate accumulates
• Applications requiring a simple 1/2" threaded condensate outlet

Key specifications

• Connection type: 1/2" standard threaded connection
• Material: metal body suitable for typical industrial environments
• Function: automatic or manual condensate discharge depending on installation
• Application medium: condensate from compressed air systems (water and light oil content)
• Installation location: in-line or at condensate collection points such as receivers, filters or drop legs

How to use

Install the valve onto the condensate outlet using the 1/2" threaded connection, ensuring compatible thread sealing (sealant tape or appropriate sealant) and correct orientation for drainage. Place the valve at a low point or dedicated drain port where condensate collects. After installation, check for leaks under pressure and operate the valve per system design: in automatic installations verify actuation and discharge cycle; in manual setups open periodically to release accumulated condensate. Follow general safety procedures for depressurising the system before removal or maintenance.

Usage recommendations

Use the Aerotec condensate drain with appropriate pre-filtration and separation to limit particulate and heavy oil ingress. Perform periodic inspections and remove scale or deposits if discharge flow is restricted. In low-temperature environments provide freeze protection or drain regularly to prevent blockage. For installations with higher oil content consider using an oil-water separator ahead of the drain to comply with local disposal requirements.
