Tank Drain Valve for Compressor Maintenance
This 1/4 inch NPT wing-style valve replaces the original drain on compatible compressor tanks. It fits Powermate, DeWalt, Industrial Air and Porter Cable units. The wing handle allows quick opening and closing without tools. Install it to remove accumulated moisture after each use.
Brass Construction With Wing Handle
The valve body uses brass for corrosion resistance in humid tank environments. A 1/4 inch NPT thread matches standard tank ports on the listed brands. The wing nut design lets operators drain condensate by hand, reducing the chance of stripped threads from over-tightening with pliers.
1/4 NPT Thread Decides Fitment
Verify that your compressor tank has a 1/4 inch NPT female port before ordering. This valve will not seal on metric, BSP or larger NPT sizes. Buyers with tanks requiring a different thread pitch or diameter need a separate matching valve.

Questions about this item
What does the 1/4 NPT thread on the 072-0001RP valve connect to?
The 1/4 NPT male thread screws directly into the standard tank port found on compatible Dewalt, Industrial Air, Porter Cable and Powermate compressors.
How much clearance does the wing handle need to turn?
The wing-style handle rotates by hand, so allow enough space around the valve body for a full quarter-turn without hitting the tank shroud or nearby fittings.
Do I need thread sealant when fitting the 072-0001RP drain valve?
Yes, apply PTFE tape or pipe dope to the 1/4 NPT threads before tightening to prevent air leaks at the tank connection.
