Automatic Drain Connectivity - Capturing water when floor drain is not available
- Obtain 8mm PTFE OD tubing (available for purchase here ).
- Connect 8mm tubing to Auto Drain elbow fitting (press fit securely) or to Auto Drain Valve port (loosen captive fitting, insert, then tighten captive fitting).
-
Obtain any medium or large sized plastic jug/container with a plastic lid.
- Drill an 8mm hole in the lid and route the 8mm PTFE tubing into the container/jug. Container should be able to “breathe” a little; a perfect seal is not suggested.
- It is suggested to tie-strap and secure the jug/container to the leg or side of compressor since a high level of air pressure (force) will eject through the Auto Drain and container may become projected/dislodged due to the pressure blast.
CAUTION:
Do not use a 100% sealed glass beaker; these have reportedly been known to explode due to pressure.
