Description
ELGi EZL 10 Zero Loss Drain (24VAC) — B070007000052
The ELGi EZL 10 zero-loss drain is designed to automatically discharge condensate while minimizing compressed air loss—helping reduce energy waste caused by leaking or timer-based drains.
It is suited for common condensate collection points (filters, dryers, receiver tanks, and low points). It includes an integrated mesh strainer and is rated IP65 (NEMA4) for industrial environments. Selection chart guidance: EZL 10 is listed for up to 500 SCFM compressor/wet-tank points and up to 2500 SCFM dryer/dry-tank points.
Key Features
- Zero-loss style draining: Designed to discharge condensate while minimizing compressed air loss compared to timer drains.
- Industrial environmental protection: Rated IP65 (NEMA4) for harsh shop conditions.
- Integrated mesh strainer: Helps capture debris before it reaches the valve mechanism (cleanable as part of routine maintenance).
- Standard connections: Inlet connection: 1/2" NPT.
- Alarm capability: Includes an alarm digital output to support monitoring and troubleshooting.
- Supply voltage option: This item is the 24VAC version.

Installation & Maintenance Tips
- Install at a true condensate collection point: Locate it where liquid naturally accumulates (tank drains, dryer drains, filter sumps, low points).
- Maintain accessibility: Leave clearance to inspect the unit and clean the integrated mesh strainer.
- Verify control power and wiring: Match the drain’s supply voltage to your available power and follow your site electrical standard.
- Route condensate properly: Pipe discharge to an approved collection/disposal point per regulations.
FAQs
▶️ Question: What does “zero loss” mean on a condensate drain?
Answer: A zero-loss drain is designed to discharge condensate while minimizing compressed air loss. Instead of dumping air on a fixed timer, it opens primarily when liquid is present—helping reduce wasted energy.
▶️ Question: Where should I install the EZL drain in my system?
Answer: Install it at condensate collection points such as receiver tanks (wet or dry), refrigerated dryers, filters, and low points—where liquid naturally accumulates. Keep the unit accessible for strainer cleaning and service.
▶️ Question: How do I choose between EZL 10 and EZL 100?
Answer: Use the selection chart guidance in the accessories documentation. In general, EZL 10 is intended for lower-flow compressor/tank points, while EZL 100 is intended for higher-flow systems.
▶️ Question: Does it include a strainer, and how often should it be cleaned?
Answer: Yes—these EZL drains include an integrated mesh strainer. Inspect and clean it on a routine schedule based on your condensate load and contamination level (more often in dirty or high-moisture environments).
▶️ Question: What is the power requirement?
Answer: This model is the 24VAC version. Verify your available control power and match it to the drain’s supply voltage before installation.
▶️ Question: How do I confirm the drain is working?
Answer: Verify the unit is powered, confirm condensate is reaching the drain body, and observe discharge during normal operation. If discharge is frequent with mostly air, check installation location and upstream separation.
