Air System Products 1/2″ Bronze Ball Valve Drain, (BVD-2B12)

Description

Non-Clogging Condensate Drain for Compressed Air Systems

The BVD Ball Valve Drain is engineered for demanding compressed air applications, combining durability with smart functionality. Its non-clogging, full-port ball valve design ensures reliable removal of oil and water condensate—even in high-contaminant environments. Driven by a solid-state timer and heavy-duty motor in a NEMA 4X enclosure, it delivers consistent performance without manual intervention.

Key Features

• Solid-state timer for automated cycling
• Straight-through flow minimizes clogging
• Heavy-duty gear motor for long life
• Rugged seat and seal design
• Manual test button for quick function check
• Available in multiple valve sizes (1/4″–1″ NPT)
• Rated up to 2,000 PSI (Stainless Steel models)
• Versatile use across filters, dryers, separators, and receivers

Performance Benefits

• Easily adjustable drain frequency
• Operates clog-free, even in harsh conditions
• Ideal for high-flow or high-pressure systems
• Works with a wide range of compressed air equipment
• Built to resist corrosion and mechanical wear

How It Works

The BVD operates via a timer-activated full-port ball valve. A solid-state timer initiates a cycle, powering a gear motor that rotates the valve 180°—opening and closing in one motion. The cycle runs for about 8 seconds, effectively expelling condensate without clogging. Its reliable actuation ensures uninterrupted system drainage over time.
