The Conrader BDC-Series is a venting pilot valve with dual control, designed for electric-motor-driven air compressors. The dual control lockout lets the operator switch between automatic start/stop and continuous (constant-run) operation, while the valve pilots the compressor's unloading by sensing tank pressure and venting to control the unloader. Rugged brass construction handles continuous duty in compressed-air and pneumatic systems.
