Sure Drain BVD

Motorized Ball Valve, 0 - 600 psi & 0 - 2000 psi

SureDrain CategoryThe Sure Drain BVD Automatic Ball Valve Drain is designed for TROUBLE FREE draining of water, oil, scale and any other foreign matter found in an air or water system.

The BVD is an excellent replacement for float type drains which have a tendency to stick open when water and oil combine into sludge. The BVD also proves to be superior to solenoid operated units that frequently clog up when scale and other particulate accumulate in the solenoid chamber.

Benefits:

  • • Trouble free draining of water, oil and scale
  • • Allows unwanted condensate & foreign matter to flow through ball valve chamber
  • • Automatic ball valve operation
  • • Suitable for all types of compressors, large or small
  • • TEST feature
  • • Less man hours for cleaning, repairing, and replacing other drains with the BVD

Advantages:

  • • Can be installed in either a vertical or horizontal position
  • • Medium pressure up to 600 psi
  • • Remote control - possible
  • • No points where scale and sludge can accumulate
