1/2" BSP DRIP LEG DRAIN

Product Code: FM-402-04-S

A properly designed overhead compressed air distribution requires “down pipes” (drop legs) to collect and drain accumulated moisture from the system. The number of “drop legs” is determined by the size of the distribution system. No matter how shortthe system, at least one “drop leg” is required at the end of the sloping overhead line. Overhead air distribution systems that are designed with several down pipes, which are utilized to be the point of pressure source, should extend below the pressure use for the accumulation of condensates. At the bottom of each “drop” some sort of drain valve should be installed. Periodic opening of the valves assures that the accumulated condensates will not flow back into the compressed air line. In order to accomplish the drainage automatically, one Automatic Drain should be installed at the bottom of each airdrop.
