I bought one of these many years ago... It seemed to leak a little in time. Maybe because my tank had so much crap in it...
It is a cheapy and HF brand... One bad review from a guy that never even tried it... It does work well... I should pick up another one for my second compressor that I don't often remember to drain.

don't know if it would work on my compressor since i run 175 psi . it is a neat setup thanks now i see how it works , hey was surfing ebay think this would make cool tig peddle http://www.ebay.com/itm/Morley-EOV-O...item2ebc88555a or this peddleAttachment 6231
I don't see a max psi listed, but you would need to go with a different hose.
BTW with till you get some metal shavings in that pedal!!!!
I have the Wilkerson automatic drain that appears very similar and it works great. I wired it to run only when the compressor is turning so the hiss noise is minimal. The two dials are for the duration time and interval time.
I had one of these on my compresser first the plastic tube it comes won't hold more than 40lbs and it blows. I replaced with 1/4 inch copper and it worked well for about 6 months then it started leaking bad. I bought another one and it failed right away so back to a ball valve an on hands and knees damn:mad:Quote:
