Compressor Tank Drain Valve
The PowerMate 072-0020RP is a quarter-turn drain valve designed for air compressor tanks. It provides a simple method to remove accumulated moisture and condensation from the system. The valve features a 1/4 inch NPT connection for standard fitment. It serves as a direct replacement component for compatible compressor units.
Quarter Turn Operation and Build
The quarter-turn mechanism allows for quick opening and closing without multiple rotations. This design speeds up routine maintenance tasks compared to multi-turn alternatives. The 1/4 NPT threading ensures a secure seal when installed correctly. California Proposition 65 warnings apply regarding chemical exposure.
Critical Fitment Specification
The defining specification is the 1/4 inch NPT thread size, which must match the tank port exactly. Buyers needing a different thread standard or a larger port diameter cannot use this valve. Compatibility is limited to the listed manufacturer part numbers. Verify the tank port before ordering.

Questions about this item
What does the 1/4 NPT thread size mean for fitting this drain valve?
The 1/4 NPT thread is a standard tapered pipe thread used on many compressor tanks; it seals when tightened and requires no separate gasket.
What physical clearance does the quarter-turn handle need to operate?
The handle rotates 90 degrees, so allow enough space around the valve body for a full quarter-turn without hitting the tank shroud or nearby fittings.
How is this valve installed and what step is often missed?
Wrap the male threads with PTFE tape, thread the valve into the tank port until snug, then orient the handle for easy access; the missed step is forgetting to pressurise the tank and check for leaks before use.
