Parker VS-50 Automatic Drop Leg Drain 1000 Cfm

Product Description

The PARKER VS-50 is an automatic drop leg drain designed for use in compressed air systems. It automatically expels accumulated liquid condensate from air lines without manual intervention, protecting downstream equipment from moisture damage. The VS-50 handles up to 1,000 CFM and is sized for 1/2-inch pipe connections. At 6.25 inches tall and 2.75 inches wide, it installs cleanly into a drop leg configuration at low points in the compressed air distribution piping. This type of drain is typically installed by industrial pipefitters, plumbers, or HVAC-mechanical technicians maintaining compressed air infrastructure.

The VS-50 fits into compressed air distribution systems where condensate accumulation is a concern, particularly at drop legs, low points, and before sensitive instrumentation or pneumatic tooling. Automatic drain valves like this one are common in both light commercial and industrial compressed air setups where regular manual draining is impractical. The 1,000 CFM flow capacity makes it suitable for moderate to high-volume compressed air lines served by 1/2-inch pipe.

Key Features

• Automatic condensate discharge eliminates need for manual drain cycling
• Rated for up to 1,000 CFM compressed air flow
• Sized for 1/2-inch pipe connections
• Compact form factor at 6.25 inches high and 2.75 inches wide
• Drop leg installation design keeps condensate out of active air lines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style automatic drain for compressed air distribution systems with 1/2-inch drop leg piping.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or mechanical technician. Depressurize and lock out the compressed air system fully before installing or servicing the drain. Mount at low points or drop legs in the air distribution piping to ensure effective condensate collection. Follow applicable local mechanical codes and the compressor system manufacturer guidelines for drain placement and pipe sizing.
