Small aluminium float drain valve with 3/8 inch outlet and manual test lever

SPEEDAIRE

SPEEDAIRE 38XT28 Mechanical Drain Valve 144 psi 3/8 in

SKU CH-58J9-803P0

Automatically removes condensate from compressed-air lines up to 144 psi through a 3/8 in drain outlet

  • Automatically removes condensate at up to 144 psi system pressure
  • Operates reliably from 32 to 125 degrees Fahrenheit ambient temperature
  • Manual test feature allows quick verification of drain function
  • 14 fluid ounce bowl capacity reduces maintenance frequency
  • 3/8 inch drain outlet suits standard compressed-air piping

Mechanical Float Drain Valve

This mechanical float drain valve automatically removes condensate from compressed-air systems. It operates between 44 psi and 144 psi with a drain rate of 0.07 gpm at 100 psi. The unit suits maintenance teams who need hands-free moisture removal without electrical connections.

Sustained Operation Behaviour

The aluminium body withstands continuous pressure cycles within the 32 to 125 degrees F temperature range. A 10.14 fl oz bowl capacity reduces the frequency of manual intervention during extended shifts. The manual test feature allows verification of function without interrupting the air supply.

1/2 in NPT Inlet Connection

Installation requires a 1/2 in NPT pipe thread on the supply side and accommodates a 3/8 in drain outlet. Builders using different thread standards or needing a larger discharge port cannot use this valve without adapters. The fixed dimensions determine fit in existing manifolds.

Questions about this item

How loud is the 38XT28 when it runs continuously?

The 38XT28 is a mechanical float drain with no motor or compressor, so it produces no operational noise of its own; any sound comes only from air escaping during the brief drain cycle.

What existing fittings are required to install the 38XT28?

You need a 1/2 in NPT female port on the receiver or filter housing for the inlet, and a 3/8 in line or fitting for the drain outlet.

Will the 38XT28 operate on a system that only reaches 44 psi?

Yes, the valve's minimum operating pressure is 44 psi, so it will open and drain at that pressure.
