Champion Condensate Installation Kit - Aluminum Drain Line Piping for Oil/Water Separators

An oil/water separator only treats the condensate that actually reaches it. These Champion installation kits are the piping package that gets every drain in the compressor room to a single treatment point: 14mm aluminum tubing, mounting brackets, tube adapters, straight union connectors, MNPT to poly adapters and poly tubing, matched and boxed so nothing is missing on install day.

Select the kit that covers your run length and drain count from the dropdown above.

Kit contents are exactly as published by Champion. Note that C-OPC-IK2 and C-OPC-IK3 both carry six drain connections; the difference between them is tubing length and bracket count, so pick on the distance your run has to cover.

Why Pipe Condensate in Aluminum

Compressor condensate is acidic, and it sits in the line between drain events. Black iron rusts from the inside and drops scale into the separator inlet, where it blinds media that should be adsorbing hydrocarbon. Vinyl tubing sags between supports, traps liquid and eventually splits. 14mm aluminum stays round, holds a straight fall to the treatment point, will not corrode from the inside, and takes push-to-connect fittings so the run can be rearranged later without cutting threads.

How to Size the Kit

• Count your drain points first: compressor, aftercooler, wet receiver, refrigerated dryer, each coalescing filter and each dry receiver. Four drop points is a small single-compressor room; six covers most two-compressor plants.
• Then measure the run, including vertical drops and the trip around obstructions, and add slack. Eighty feet disappears faster than people expect once a run leaves the compressor room.
• Keep a continuous fall toward the separator. Condensate moves on gravity once it leaves the drain valve, and a dip in the line becomes a trap that backs pressure into the drain.

These are Champion kits built around standard 14mm aluminum tubing and 1/4" NPT drain connections, so they suit most condensate installations. Two kits can be combined for a large room, which is often the cleanest approach. The kit is the piping package only and does not include the drain valves themselves.

Ideal Applications

New separator installations, compressor room rebuilds, and any plant retrofitting zero air loss demand drains onto equipment that is currently dumping to the floor or to a bucket. These kits pair naturally with the CHWS-250, the Intelli-PAK and the CSP EnviroChamp 2.
