02250170-783 Ingersoll Rand Electric Drain Valve – Product Overview
The 02250170-783 Electric Drain Valve is a precision-designed automatic condensate removal unit used on Ingersoll Rand rotary screw air compressors and related equipment. Moisture accumulation in compressed air systems can cause rust, corrosion, and premature failure of key components. This OEM drain valve automatically purges accumulated condensate at timed intervals, keeping the system clean and efficient without requiring manual drainage.
Engineered for reliability and long service life, the 02250170-783 uses a durable solenoid-actuated valve and adjustable electronic timer to ensure consistent condensate discharge. It is suitable for installation on compressor tanks, air dryers, filters, and other pressurized air system components.
Key Features and Benefits

-
Maintenance-Friendly – Easy-access strainer and manual test button simplify inspection and cleaning.
-
Energy-Efficient – Eliminates unnecessary air loss compared with manual or continuously open drains.
-
Plug-and-Play Installation – Supplied with standard electrical connections for quick setup.
Functional Design and Performance
The 02250170-783 Electric Drain Valve integrates a timed electronic control module and solenoid valve assembly. The timer energizes the solenoid at user-defined intervals, momentarily opening the valve to release condensate from the compressor’s moisture trap or receiver tank.
The valve body is designed to resist clogging from oil, particulates, and rust, ensuring reliable discharge even in harsh operating conditions. A built-in strainer protects internal components, while the manual test function allows operators to confirm proper operation without interrupting compressor cycles.
This automatic system reduces maintenance requirements, eliminates manual draining, and prevents water carryover that can damage downstream equipment or pneumatic tools.
Applications and Compatibility
The Ingersoll Rand 02250170-783 Electric Drain Valve is suitable for use in:
-
Ingersoll Rand rotary screw air compressors
-
Air receiver tanks and condensate separators
-
Refrigerated or desiccant air dryers
-
Filter housings and moisture separators
-
General compressed air system retrofits
Its compact design and standard thread sizing make it easy to integrate into most industrial compressed air systems. It is frequently installed as an OEM component on new equipment or as a direct replacement for existing drain valves requiring maintenance or upgrade.
