Description
ZEKS EZDS1 Timed Solenoid Drain
The ZEKS EZDS1 is a timed solenoid condensate drain used to automatically discharge condensate from compressed air equipment. It’s a practical solution for routinely removing accumulated liquid from low points like filters, dryers, receivers, and separators.
Key Features
- Timed solenoid operation: Uses a solenoid valve controlled by a timer to open and discharge condensate on a repeating cycle.
- Standard facility power: Configured for 115 VAC single-phase operation for broad compatibility.
- Helps maintain system hygiene: Regular draining helps prevent pooled condensate and reduces the chance of water carryover.
- Fits common drain port applications: Designed for typical compressed-air equipment drain connections.
- Simple approach to automation: Upgrades manual drains to automatic operation with a clear, predictable cycle.

Benefits
- Reduces manual blow-down: Helps eliminate frequent manual draining across shifts.
- Supports equipment protection: Keeping liquid out of housings helps reduce internal corrosion risk.
- Improves operating consistency: Delivers repeatable draining behavior that can be tuned to site conditions.
- Helps prevent nuisance issues: Regular condensate removal helps avoid water slugging and messy drains.
Installation & Application Notes
- Install at a low point where condensate collects and can exit freely through the drain port.
- Tune timer settings to match condensate production; avoid overly long valve-open times to limit air loss.
- Inspect periodically for debris/sludge buildup that can prevent full closing or restrict discharge.
- Route condensate to an appropriate collection and disposal method (oil-water separation where required).
EZDS1 is a solid choice when you need a timed, automatic drain on standard 115 VAC power for equipment that produces routine condensate.
Frequently Asked Questions
ZEKS EZDS1 Timed Solenoid Drain
▶️ Question: What does a timed solenoid drain do?
Answer: It opens a solenoid valve on a schedule so condensate can discharge from the system without manual intervention.
▶️ Question: How do I set the timer so it doesn’t waste air?
Answer: Use the shortest open time that still clears condensate, and adjust the interval based on how quickly liquid accumulates.
▶️ Question: Is 115 VAC power required?
Answer: This model is configured for 115 VAC, single-phase, 60 Hz; confirm the available power source matches before installation.
▶️ Question: Where is 1/4" NPT typically used?
Answer: Many filter bowls and smaller drain ports use 1/4" NPT; confirm the equipment drain port size before ordering.
▶️ Question: When should I choose a no-air-loss drain instead?
Answer: If minimizing compressed-air loss is a priority, consider a level-sensing no-air-loss drain that only opens when condensate is present.
