Conrader Dual Control Pilot Valve — NPT Inlet × NPT Outlet
The Conrader Dual Control Pilot Valve is a factory-set pneumatic control used to load and unload air compressors and to actuate downstream pneumatic devices. As system pressure reaches the unload (cut-out) setting, the pilot opens and pressurizes the downstream line; as pressure drops to the load (cut-in) setting, it closes and depressurizes the line. The dual-control lockout lets electric-motor compressors switch between start/stop and continuous (constant-run) operation.
Key specifications
- Function: Pressure-actuated pilot / unloader control with dual-control lockout
- Operating pressure: 20–250 psi (RCB, RCT, RCQ); 20–1200 psi (RCL-S high-pressure)
- Operating temperature: -15°F to 400°F
- Connection type: Male or Female NPT inlet × Female NPT outlet (see configuration)
- Body styles: Standard inline, cross/tee (RCT), and high-pressure (RCL-S)
Available configurations
- RCB — 1/4" FNPT inlet × 1/8" FNPT outlet
- RCBM — 1/4" MNPT inlet × 1/8" FNPT outlet
- RCT — 1/4" FNPT inlet × 1/8" FNPT outlet, cross body
- RCQ — 1/4" FNPT inlet × 1/4" FNPT outlet
- RCL-S — 3/8" FNPT inlet × 1/4" FNPT outlet, high-pressure (to 1200 psi)
Typical applications
Loading and unloading reciprocating and rotary air compressors, regulating engine speed through throttle controls, operating automatic tank drain valves, and actuating normally open/closed and shuttle valves in compressed-air systems.
Built by Conrader Compressor Controls, the dual-control pilot valve delivers reliable, repeatable load/unload control across a wide pressure and temperature range, making it a dependable choice for electric-motor and gas-engine compressor packages.
