Description
ZEKS 47692245001 Timer Drain
The ZEKS 47692245001 Timer Drain is an electric condensate drain used to automatically discharge collected liquid from compressed air equipment. By draining condensate on a schedule, it helps keep filters, dryers, receivers, and other low points from filling with water and oil carryover.
Key Features
- Automatic condensate removal: Opens on a timed cycle to discharge collected condensate without manual blow-down.
- Supports cleaner compressed air: Helps reduce water carryover that can contribute to corrosion, contamination, and downstream tool issues.
- Good for unattended operation: Maintains regular draining even when equipment runs outside staffed hours.
- Straightforward service access: External drain style makes inspection and replacement easier during routine maintenance.
- Flexible system fit: Commonly used on filters, air dryers, receivers, and aftercoolers where condensate accumulates.

Benefits
- Reduces manual maintenance: Helps eliminate frequent manual draining and the risk of forgetting blow-downs.
- Protects system components: Keeping condensate from sitting in housings helps reduce corrosion risk over time.
- Improves consistency: Provides predictable draining intervals across shifts and operating hours.
- Helps prevent water-related process issues: Minimizes the chance of condensate slugging into downstream piping.
Installation & Application Notes
- Install at a true low point where condensate naturally collects and can drain by gravity.
- Route discharge to an approved condensate management method (oil-water separation where required).
- Set the discharge interval and open time based on condensate load (humidity, run time, aftercooler/dryer performance).
- Inspect periodically for debris, sludge, or icing in cold environments; clean/replace components as needed.
A timer drain is a practical choice when you want automated condensate removal with simple, repeatable operation on a schedule.
Frequently Asked Questions
ZEKS 47692245001 Timer Drain
▶️ Question: How does a timer drain remove condensate?
Answer: It opens an internal valve on a scheduled cycle so collected liquid can discharge from the drain port.
▶️ Question: Where is a timer drain typically installed?
Answer: Common locations include filter bowls, the bottom of air receivers, aftercooler separators, and dryer drain outlets—anywhere condensate collects.
▶️ Question: Will a timer drain waste compressed air?
Answer: Some air can escape during each drain cycle; reducing the valve open time to the minimum needed helps limit air loss.
▶️ Question: How do I set the drain cycle?
Answer: Start with a short valve-open time and a longer interval, then adjust until condensate is removed without excessive air discharge.
▶️ Question: When should I choose a no-air-loss drain instead?
Answer: If you want to minimize compressed-air loss or your condensate load varies a lot, a level-sensing no-air-loss drain is often the better fit.
