Drainview Products QU-E38 Timer Valve

The Drainview Products QU-E38 is a professional-grade 3/8" electric drain timer valve engineered for precise condensate management in industrial compressed air systems. Operating on a standard 120VAC power supply, this unit features a robust solenoid valve controlled by an integrated solid-state electronic timer. It is specifically designed to eliminate moisture buildup in air compressors, filters, receivers, and refrigerated dryers, preventing downstream corrosion and pneumatic tool failure. The QU-E38 offers highly adjustable discharge intervals and duration settings, allowing technicians to calibrate the automatic drain valve based on the specific humidity levels and load demands of the facility. With a compact NPT connection and a durable housing, this timed condensate drain ensures reliable performance in tight mechanical spaces where manual draining is impractical.

Technical Benefits for Contractors:

• Precision Condensate Control: Fully adjustable "on" and "off" cycles ensure the compressed air system remains dry without excessive loss of expensive sought-after CFM.
• Industrial Build Quality: Features a high-quality 3/8" NPT port size for seamless integration into existing pipe manifolds and receiver tanks.
• Simplified Installation: The 120V AC configuration allows for direct connection to standard electrical circuits found in most mechanical rooms.
• System Longevity: Actively removes oil and water aerosols, protecting delicate pneumatic components and pneumatic valves from moisture-related sludge.
• Reduced Maintenance: Replaces the need for manual daily purging, mitigating the risk of human error in high-demand HVACR environments.

Common Questions:

How do I adjust the interval settings on the QU-E38?
The unit features two distinct potentiometers on the electronic timer face. Use a small screwdriver to set the "off" time (interval between drains) and the "on" time (duration of the purge) to match your system’s condensate production rate.

Can this valve handle heavy oil and sludge?
The Drainview QU-E38 is designed for standard air system condensate. For systems with excessive debris, we recommend installing a strainer upstream to prevent the solenoid valve orifice from clogging.

Is the coil replaceable if the electrical requirements change?
While the QU-E38 is optimized for 120VAC, the modular design often allows for solenoid coil replacement, though we recommend verifying the specific valve stem compatibility before attempting a field modification.
