I just bought a random on eBay. 5 years later and on ever day it’s fine.

If you want something from the UK with a backing behind it I think our sponsor @xtreme engineering does them.

I've fitted three of the generic Chinese ones so far and they've worked fine for a few years. I run mine via a time switch limiting them to 08:30 to 17:00 so as not to scare our cottage guests in the middle of the night ! They are set to their minimum open time (5 secs I think) and maximum period (45 minutes I think)

I bought the a generic 240V solenoid/timer one from ebay - for my airtank drain..

But I have fitted these on the bottom of DropOut fitlers - "float drainers" - they dirt cheap and they work OK (don't leak)

more electrics......grrrrr
what about the self drain on truck air tanks....?

Advertised on amazon. Cheap enough. Also can wire them after pressure set so will run for desired time period every time the motor cuts in rather than on a timer. This works well if don't want it going off every 45mins.

Ive used a auto drain valve from a machine mart air filter, it works when the reservoir pressure drops below 5psi

I got mine wired up to one of them segment plug timers - so empty every 45mins (three times in 2hrs daily).

I also got an airhead sump heater wired the same way - to warm the oil before I start compresser up on cold winter mornings.
