How It Works
The BVD Ball Valve Drain uses a timer-based control system with a full-port ball valve. A heavy-duty gear motor housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure powers the ball valve, rotating it 180° from closed to open and back during each cycle. The solid-state timer module initiates the cycle, which lasts about 8 seconds, fully draining condensate before returning to the closed position.
