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. \u003cstrong\u003e14mm aluminum\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to Size the Kit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCount your drain points\u003c\/strong\u003e first: compressor, aftercooler, wet receiver, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aircompressorstore.com\/collections\/refrigerated-air-dryers\"\u003erefrigerated dryer\u003c\/a\u003e, each \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aircompressorstore.com\/collections\/coalescing-air-filters\"\u003ecoalescing filter\u003c\/a\u003e and each dry receiver.

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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew separator installations, compressor room rebuilds, and any plant retrofitting \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/aircompressorstore.com\/collections\/condensate-drains\"\u003ezero air loss demand drains\u003c\/a\u003e onto equipment that is currently dumping to the floor or to a bucket.

Send us a sketch of your compressor room with the drain points marked and we will tell you which kit covers it, whether you need to combine two, and what else the installation will want. We would rather quote the right kit once than have you two fittings short on a Saturday.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo I have to use a kit, or can I buy the pieces loose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou can pipe a condensate run out of loose parts, but the kits exist because the fitting count is what people get wrong. The bracket and connector counts in each kit are matched to the tubing length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between IK2 and IK3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth carry six drain connections. IK3 has 240 feet of tubing, 60 brackets and 24 union connectors against IK2's 160 feet, 40 brackets and 18 connectors. Choose on run length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill these work with any brand of separator?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey are Champion kits built around standard 14mm aluminum tubing and 1\/4\" NPT drain connections, so they suit most condensate installations. Tell us what separator and what drains you are connecting and we will confirm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I combine two kits for a larger plant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, and for very large rooms that is often the cleanest approach.
