Super-Dry FSD-AD Bowl Adaptor for FSD Water Separator and SAF Filter Timer Drain Conversion

The FSD-AD is the bowl adaptor that lets you run an automatic timer drain on a Super-Dry FSD Series water separator or SAF Series compressed air filter. Those housings come with a float drain in the bowl, and the adaptor takes its place so a timer drain can be connected instead. It is the small piece that makes the conversion possible, so plan on ordering it alongside the timer drain itself.

How it works

You remove the factory float drain from the bottom of the separator or filter bowl and thread the FSD-AD into the same opening. The adaptor gives you a connection point for an automatic timer drain, which then discharges collected condensate on a set schedule rather than reacting to a float. That is the setup shops choose when the bowl fills faster than a float drain keeps up, when a float has repeatedly fouled on scale, or when drainage needs to be predictable and tied to the compressor duty cycle.

Key specifications

Typical applications

• Converting an FSD Series water separator from float drain to automatic timer drain
• Converting a SAF Series filter housing to timer drain operation
• Dirty or scaling systems where float drains foul and stick
• High condensate loads in humid plants and summer duty
• Paint booth and spray finishing air preparation that cannot tolerate carryover
• Sandblasting and general plant air drops on scheduled maintenance

The FSD-AD bowl adaptor is the link between a Super-Dry separator or filter bowl and an automatic timer drain, and it is far cheaper than replumbing the drain leg. Pair it with a Super-Dry timer drain to put condensate removal from FSD and SAF housings on a fixed schedule. Warthog Air Compressor Store is an authorized US source for Super-Dry Systems Inc.
